Processing:
The data set was subjected to Radiometric Calibration and FLAASH atmospheric correction using ENVI software. First, the digital quantized value (DN) of the original image of the Landsat satellite is converted into a physical quantity such as a radiance value or a reflectance by Radiometric Calibration. Then, FLAASH atmospheric correction can estimate the properties of the atmosphere through the image header file (including sensor basic information such as wavelength and spectral bandwidth), spectral response function, and satellite image spectral information. In terms of aerosol model selection, FLAASH's alternative aerosol models include urban aerosols, rural aerosols, marine aerosols, aerosol-free and tropospheric aerosol models, which can be selected based on the specific satellite image coverage area. The data output after FLAASH atmospheric correction is the apparent reflectivity ρw, which needs further calculation to obtain the remote sensing reflectivity Rrs. The calculation formula is as follows:
Where τ0 is the diffuse transmittance of the sun, τr is the Rayleigh optical thickness, and θo is the solar zenith angle.
