FAQ on
-Atmospheric Correction & Radiometric Correction
• When to perform? Can we do both? Is it
necessary in all application
-Geometric Correction (GC)
• Purposes of performing GC…
• What is/are the best method(s)?
• In polynomial (higher order the better?) the
best warping option? How about RST
(Rotation Scaling and Translation) and
rubber sheeting?
• Resampling methods: Nearest Neighbor,
bilinear, and cubic convolution, which one is
better?
