Abstract

Thin semitransparent cloud removal is not an easy task, because the data optical remote sensing satellite acquired contains not only the information from the terrain object but also the information from the thin semitransparent cloud. For this reason, an atmospheric correction method was used in this study to remove the effect of cloud. A case study is carried out in the world famous cloudy area in the coastal area of the South China Sea. The qualitative and quantitative results show this method works well in the coastal area of cloudy South China Sea. It will make full use of the potential of GF-1 and Landsat data in this area by using this method.
