    I am trying to use FLAASH with Quickbird imagery and have managed to get the final output image which is in scaled reflectance.  What do I need to do to get an image to show the reflectance in the 0-1 range?  Right now all of my pixels are showing reflectances in the thousands and hundreds.  Thanks.

    FLAASH always outputs scaled integers to reduce the file size.  The scale factor used is in specified in the advanced settings and its default value is 10,000.  So you can divide your data by this scale factor to get to reflectance between 0-1 (and sometimes higher or negative for poorly modelled pixels).  Note that storing your data as floating point values will double the size since it takes 4 bytes to store a float value compared to 2 bytes to store the integer value.  If you have a full size Quickbird image, it can make the reflectance cube very large.
