Abstract

The atmospheric correction of satellite images is an important first step for different remote sensing applications such as estimation of vegetation indices. In atmospheric corrections, most uncertainties arise from temporal and spatial variations in aerosol types and quantities. Thus, considered validation estimate Aerosol is an essential step in the validation atmospheric correction algorithms. In the current study, two models of atmospheric correction algorithms ATCOR (ATCOR 3 and ATCOR 2) were applied to remove atmospheric effects of test sites in Middle part of Iraq. Statistical results of ATCOR 2 was shown to be successful in the urban parts to remove effective type of aerosol which could be chosen to process satellite images in areas under investigation.
