I am trying to do an atmospheric correction of WV-2 images with FLAASH.
1.-I convert the WV-2
data from DN to radiance using Worldview radiance tool in Envi 4.8. I specify the output to floating point.
2.- I convert to BIL
format

FLAASH uses a default
value of 10, 000 for the output scale factor. So, I have divided the data by
10,000 for get to percent reflectance which should range between 0-1.0 (17952/10,000=1.79,
16039/10,000=1.60, etc.) How can I interpret this response?
Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
