- The blurring effects due to the scattering.
- Assuming ground reflectance to be constant, variations of signal due to atmospheric error.
- Neglected multiple ground-atmosphere interactions.
- A reference image acquired under clear atmospheric conditions.
- After correction for solar and observation angle variations.

Conclusion
- Aerosol plays a vital role in Earth system that why aerosol measurement and observation are necessary. Structure
Function and Dispersion Coefficient based on contrast reduction are available to retrieve Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD).
The experiments reveal a better performance of Structure Function due to its methodology consider a higher level of
contrast variation in satellite imagery.
- Atmospheric correction (to various components and AOD is one of them) provides corrected surface reflectance which
determines the accuracy for applications accounting on ground albedo such as NDVI.
- The magnitude of the blurring effect depends on the atmospheric characteristics and particularly on the aerosol optical
thickness, phase function, and vertical profile.
