Estimating radiant flux of nighttime light images from NASA’s Black Marble product
Geo-spatial Information ScienceRecently, radiant flux has been proved as a more accurate measure of nighttime light (NTL) compared to radiance. To estimate radiant flux of NTL from nighttime light images accurately, we propose a practical methodology that considers the anisotropy of ...
