Abstract

Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Land Surface Emissivity (LSE) are common retrievals from thermal hyperspectral imaging. However, their retrieval is not a straightforward procedure because the mathematical problem is ill-posed. This procedure becomes more challenging in an urban area where the spatial distribution of temperature varies substantially in space and time. In this study we propose a new method which integrates 3D surface information from LIDAR data in an attempt to improve the temperature and emissivity separation (TES) procedure for thermal hyperspectral scene. The experimental results prove the high accuracy of the proposed method in comparison to another conventional TES model.
