TL;DR: Shadow-insensitive detection or classification of surface materials in atmospherically corrected hyperspectral imagery can be achieved by expressing the reflectance spectrum as a linear combination of spectra that correspond to illumination by the direct sum and by the sky.

TL;DR: In this paper, the MODTRAN 1 cm-1 band model has been reformulated for application to higher spectral resolution, where molecular line center absorption is still determined from finite spectral bin equivalent widths but is now partitioned between the bin containing the molecular transition and its nearest neighbor bin.

TL;DR: The MODTRAN4, v1, atmospheric transmission, radiance and flux model developed jointly by the Air Force Research Laboratory / Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL / VS) and Spectral Sciences, Inc..

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of AIRS-related MOD5-AIRS analysis with a suite of'surrogate' data generated by other radiative transfer algorithms, all based upon simulations supplied by the AIRS community, provide validation in the Long Wave Infrared (LWIR).

TL;DR: MODTRANreg Version 5.1 includes many new capabilities tailored to enhance and facilitate atmospheric compensation, including the regeneration of molecular databases using HITRAN2004 with updates through January 2007, output of spectral channel brightness temperatures, input options facilitating perturbation of atmospheric profiles, and introduction of the O2 - O2 visible absorption continuum.
