Computer analysis of changes in the colorimetric quality of color images in the atmosphere
Abstract
Transformations of image quality in color aerospace photography are studied taking into account the effect of the atmosphere. Colorimetric image-quality criteria and a basic single-layer two-parameter model atmosphere were chosen. Special programs were developed to analyze the spectral characteristics of sites photographed. The study shows that images are most affected by the atmosphere at heights of less than 5 km and that distortions of no more than 20% are observed at heights up to at least 200 km.
