Approbation of the algorithm for atmospheric correction of satellite images of the Earth surface with allowance for radiation polarization on the examples of MODIS images

摘要

The problem of reconstruction of the Earth surface reflection coefficients from satellite data with allowance for radiation polarization is considered. Previously it was shown that in the process of atmospheric correction, optical-geometrical conditions may arise under which the allowance for radiation polarization is essential. In the present paper, the program complex for atmospheric correction of satellite images has been developed that takes into account radiation polarization. It has been used to process the Earth surface images recorded by the MODIS device.
