ABSTRACT
The radiometric resolution refers to the dynamic range, or a number of tonal levels, at which data for a given spectral band is recorded by a particular sensor. The distance from Earth, coupled with the radiometric resolution of the sensor provides important information necessary to understand the resolving capability expected from the sensor. Often, without applying radiometric enhancement techniques to remotely sensed satellite data, the raw data captured by the sensor would be too dark to be useful for interpreting features on the ground. This exercise will allow you to perform standard radiometric enhancements in an effort to make raw imagery more interpretable through standard deviations adjustments and more customized contrast refinements using a breakpoint editor.
