About
Yuan-Fong Su is a remote sensing scientist whose work centers on atmospheric correction and surface reflectance retrieval for satellite imagery. His most cited paper, "A path radiance estimation algorithm using reflectance measurements in radiometric control areas" (2011), introduces a novel method for estimating path radiance—a critical step in removing atmospheric effects from satellite data. By leveraging reflectance measurements from radiometric control areas (RCAs), Su’s algorithm offers a more accurate alternative to traditional approaches like the dark object subtraction (DOS) method. This contribution has been cited 5 times and is foundational for improving the precision of land surface analyses, particularly in heterogeneous landscapes where standard corrections fall short. Su’s research directly supports applications in environmental monitoring, agriculture, and climate studies, where reliable surface reflectance data is essential. His work demonstrates a practical, field-informed approach to a persistent challenge in optical remote sensing, making him a valuable contributor to the advancement of satellite-based Earth observation.
