    This resource (http://earth.esa.int/pub/ESA_DOC/land...) describes how can I convert DN to radiance and reflectance value. How then associate each value of radiance and reflectance with the wavelength, like this graphics (http://www.exelisvis.com/Home/NewsUpd...). Is there a mathematical expression or function is expressed the radiance or reflectance through wavelength. How can I get an array or object pair such as {reflectance;wavelengths} in IDL. I have a multispectral image GeoTiff format (Landsat 4/5, 7 channels). Is there any way to get a pair of values ??reflectance / wavelength using ENVI IDL or maybe other tools. Image resolution of about 8000x7000 pixels. For each point with the DN-value, accordinghttp://earth.esa.int/pub/ESA_DOC/land..., I calculated the reflectance, and then, how to associate each reflectance value to its wavelength? I found just such an example http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/envi_ap..., it is suitable for my data. Thanks.

    The USGS describes the equations used for calibration of Landsat. They are different for each sensor: http://landsat.usgs.gov/h...iance_calculated.php Wavelengths are related to each band of the sensor. So you would calibrate each band (wavelength) with their respective coefficients If you have ENVI, just open the file using the _MTL.txt and use the Radiometric Calibration tool.
