The invention discloses a retrieval method for an
aerosol optical thickness based on
high resolution satellite image data. The retrieval method specifically comprises the following steps: 1) establishing a
lookup table according to a 6S
radiation transfer model; 2) carrying out
high resolution data preprocessing, comprising
radiometric calibration, geometric correction and
cloud detection, acquiring original apparent reflectance and observation angle information, and acquiring atmospheric parameters according to the observation angle information and the
lookup table; 3) calculating the normalized differential
vegetation index of each pixel, and determining a red-blue
wave band relation corresponding to each pixel according to the
vegetation index and priori knowledge provided by the invention; and 4) inverting the
aerosol optical thickness according to the
satellite observed apparent reflectance, the atmospheric parameters and the red-blue
wave band relation. According to the
remote sensing retrieval method for the
aerosol optical thickness disclosed by the invention, aerosol monitoring can be carried out on high solution satellites effectively, and a
data source can be provided for regional and urban atmospheric environment and
pollution.
