ABSTRACT

Spectral Radiometry Any hyperspectral data collected from an airborne or spaceborne platform is influenced by the atmospheric conditions at the time the data is collected. If the weather is sunny and clear, the data will be optimum. Data collected when the atmosphere is cloudy or humid, however, will be affected by those conditions. Therefore, knowing the principles of spectral radiometry and understanding how to use its concepts is important when interpreting the data collected by hyperspectral sensors.
