About
Bringfried Pflug is a leading expert in the atmospheric correction of optical satellite imagery, a critical step for enabling quantitative remote sensing. His primary research focuses on developing, validating, and intercomparing algorithms that remove atmospheric interference from satellite data, ensuring that measurements of Earth’s surface are accurate and reliable. Dr. Pflug’s most significant contribution is his leadership in the Atmospheric Correction Inter-comparison eXercise (ACIX-II Land), a landmark benchmark study that rigorously assessed the performance of various atmospheric correction processors for Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 data. This work, which has garnered 63 citations, provides the remote sensing community with a vital, standardized framework for evaluating and selecting the best correction methods. Additionally, he played a key role in developing the L2A processor for the DESIS hyperspectral instrument aboard the International Space Station, validating its products against ground-based networks like AERONET and RadCalNet. Through these efforts, Dr. Pflug has directly enhanced the quality and consistency of global land surface data, empowering researchers and agencies to conduct more precise multi-temporal and multi-sensor analyses.
