Atmospheric correction is a process used in remote sensing to remove the effects of the Earth's atmosphere from satellite or aerial imagery. The Earth's atmosphere can distort and absorb incoming light, leading to inaccuracies in satellite images. Atmospheric correction algorithms are used to correct for these distortions, allowing for more accurate analysis of land cover, vegetation, and other features on the Earth's surface. This correction is essential for applications such as environmental monitoring, land use planning, and climate research.
