Radiometric correction effects in Landsat multi-date/multi-sensor change detection studies

Radiometric corrections serve to remove the effects that alter the spectral characteristics of land features, except for actual changes in ground target, becoming mandatory in multi-sensor, multi-date studies. In this paper, we evaluate the effects of two types of radiometric correction methods (abs...
