Radiometric correction refers to variations in the data that are not caused by the object or scene being scanned. These variations can be caused by differing sensitivities of the detectors of the sensing system, malfunctioning detectors, or atmospheric interference. Radiometric corrections can be applied to correct for these variations, such as for differing sensitivities of detectors (causing striped image), for detectors (resulting in pixels with digital values of zero), or to correct for atmospheric bias due to scattering of radiation. This paper discussed and illustrated some of the important principles of the radiometric correction methods.
