Various questions on ATCOR-4 - rese_support - 30-Jun-2017

Quote:We have a few easy questions that I can't find answers to in the ATCOR4 manual or in the forums. 

 1. In the output from ATCOR4 band names are given as refl [%*100],
    what does this symbol mean? I ask because when displayed theband
    names themselves are multiplied by 1000 not 100  eg Band 0.4331 is
    displayed in the header file as 433.11.
The symbol simple means 'reflectance in % (percent) times 100; ie a reflectance of 10% gets a value of 1000 (this is the default to make it fit into an integer data type). 

Quote:2. Some bands are displayed with an asterisk following their name,
    and some are not. What does the asterisk represent? eg 753.14*
    refl [%*100].
The asterisk in the band name indicates interpolated bands; interpolation for water vapor absorption regions may be configured in the atcor preferences panel.


Quote:3. After atmospheric correction, the pixel values are integer, with
    ranges from 0 to ~1500. But, in the header file, the reflectance
    scale factor = 10000. So, which values do I use to scale the data
    to sensible reflectance values (given the [%*100] symbol in my Q1
    also).
The reflectance scale factor is defined respective to the unitless reflectance (i.e. a reflectance of 0.1 is 10% and gets 1000).

What is the best way to get around this error?


RE: Various questions on ATCOR-4 - reseadmin - 05-Jul-2017

This DEM is in geographic coordinates (Geographic Long/Lat), wheraes ATCOR requires metric coordinates; you'd need to convert the DEM to UTM before it can be used in ATCOR. Such a conversion is to be done externally, e.g. in ENVI.

Thank you for your help.

Hopefully my last question for you: what does this error message relate to? I am atmospherically correcting a rugged terrain.
