Image correction for radiometric effects in remote sensing

Abstract A general classification of radiometric correction methodologies yields new insights into related procedures as they are implemented typically on image analysis systems. Incorrect results can be obtained from the inappropriate application of different types of corrections related to physical phenomena which give rise to radiometric distortions in a scene. The major types of radiometric correction are reviewed as they apply to digital images acquired by satellite sensors in the visible and infrared portions of the spectrum.
