Abstract

The urban surface albedo was estimated using four methods; 1) Panchromatic, 2) NVI (Normalized Vegetation Index), 3) Land cover ratio calculated by the constrained least square method, 4) Detail mesh data on land uses. The methods 1) -3) were derived from Landsat TM data. The histgram s of the estimated albedo were compared with each others. The result estimated by the panchromatic method was best. The result estimated by Detail mesh data on land uses had a problem based on the discrete values.
