    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 Resulting radiance image statistics Basic Stats Min Max Mean Stdev Band 1 0.000000 40.228760 3.139071 3.520640 Band 2 0.000000 47.530544 3.079424 3.595684 Band 3 0.000000 31.559774 2.052670 2.740032 Band 4 0.000000 27.919588 1.157554 2.023804 Band 5 0.000000 39.357430 0.843777 1.805708 Band 6 0.000000 23.645294 0.564779 1.497296 Band 7 0.000000 25.341818 0.420495 1.445683 Band 8 0.000000 18.583788 0.247936 0.906226 3.-After, I run FLAASH. I turn the aerosol retrieval to NONE and water retrieval NO FLAASH atmospherically corrected image statistics Basic Stats Min Max Mean Stdev Band 1 -360 17952 273.143183 447.251877 Band 2 -725 16039 335.101551 561.370635 Band 3 -285 10573 287.733010 620.919780 Band 4 -471 10180 153.661365 613.187281 Band 5 -609 15221 116.479420 616.986604 Band 6 -569 12468 118.702748 741.644475 Band 7 -413 14014 116.772068 773.215352 Band 8 -328 16954 117.193626 801.550638 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. oli

    FLAASH is an atmospheric modelling program and you may get over and under-corrections in some pixels, particularly those with very high or low radiance. You can get negative values where there is shadow and water that have low radiance and get values greater than 1 in areas of high radiance like clouds or corner reflectors. It should only occur in a few pixels so if you see that they are prevalent across the image, then there is likely a problem with the calibration or parameters.
