Abstract:

The new atmospheric correction algorithm is presented. The algorithm gives albedo of a heterogeneous lambertian surface taking into account multiple scatterings and reflections of the solar radiation. Test results to demonstrate potential of the algorithm are presented.

Keywords:

atmospheric correction, reflectance, turbid atmosphere
