Atmospheric correction

Atmospheric correction is the process of removing the effects of the atmosphere on the reflectance values of images taken by satellite or airborne sensors [1][2]. Atmospheric effects in optical remote sensing are significant and complex, dramatically altering the spectral nature of the radiation reaching the remote sensor [3] . There are various approaches and techniques to conducting atmospheric correction [4].
