Title: Iterative estimation of the earth surface temperature and emissivity
Abstract: Abstract To estimate the earth surface temperature and emissivity from the satellite detected non-atmospherically corrected thermal IR data, an iterative estimation method is proposed. At first, the radiative transfer equation which describes the transfer process of the radiation from the surface to the satellite is simplified into the non-linear equation. Next, the inter-variable relationship is investigated and the unknown variables are reduced. And the constrainted non-linear optimization technique is adopted to solve the approximated radiative transfer equation. To verify this method, the numerically simulated data are used and the results show the effectiveness of this method and the potential for the multispectral TIR remote sensing data.
