Topographic Correction of Forest Image Data Based on the Canopy Reflectance Model for Sloping Terrains in Multiple Forward Mode.
REMOTE SENSING(2018)
摘要
Topographic correction methods rarely consider the canopy parameter effects directly and explicitly for sloping canopies. In order to address this problem, the topographic correction method MFM-GOST2 was developed by implementing the second version of the Geometric-Optical model for Sloping Terrains (the GOST2 model) in the multiple forward mode (MFM) inversion framework. First, a look up table (LUT) was constructed by multiple forward modeling of the GOST2 model; second, the radiance of a remotely sensed image and its corresponding topographic data were used for searching potential canopy parameter combinations from the LUT; and third, the corrected radiance was determined by averaging potential radiances of horizontal canopies from the LUT according to the canopy parameter combinations. The MFM-GOST2 and twelve generally used topographic correction methods were evaluated via a case study by visual analysis, linear relationship analysis, and the rose diagram analysis. The result showed that the MFM-GOST2 method successfully removed most of the topographic effects of a subset image of the Landsat-8 image in a case study. The case study also illustrates that the rose diagram analysis is a good way to evaluate topographic corrections, but the linear relationship analysis cannot be used independently for the evaluations because the decorrelation is not a sufficient condition to determine a successful topographic correction.
