Atmospheric Correction of GF-1/WFV Image in Taihu Lake based on the 6S Model Pixel by Pixel

The spectral information of water is weak, and the commonly used radiation transfer model has poor accuracy in atmospheric correction of water body. Based on the Gaofen-1 WFV image (GF-1/WFV) and the synchronous in situ spectra covering Taihu Lake on 29^th, April, 2016, the sensitivity analysis of the input parameters in 6S model was first performed, and then the image was corrected using 6S model using the observation geometry calculated pixel-by-pixel, the partitioned aerosol type and the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) determined by the partitioned dark pixel and Spline interpolation. The experimental results show that the aerosol type has the greatest influence on the 6S atmospheric correction results. Compared with the FLAASH method, the 6S method using the observation geometry and aerosol parameters calculated pixel-by-pixel significantly improved the atmospheric correction accuracy, with the ARE (Average Relative Error) of the four bands reduced by 1.84%，7.78%，4.79%，17%. The 6S atmospheric correction method pixel by pixel with the input of accurate atmospheric parameters can improve the correction accuracy of the remote sensing reflectance above water surface.
