    Hi, I know I'm a little behind with my ENVI version (I don't see our institute upgrading for quite awhile). I'm trying to generate a Land Surface Temp map using Band 10 (keeping it simple) in Landsat 8. I'm not exactly sure of the workflow, and seem to get a few different directions from different sources. If I understand right, I first need to convert to radiance, then TOA reflectance and possibly factor in emissivity using NDVI or some other classifciation method (I'm not sure if this last part is necessary for what I'm doing, as the surface types I'm evaluating are fairly similar) I'm not exactly sure how to do all of this using ENVI 4.5, though--any general sense of the workflow (I know I can't automate it because of the version) would be helpful. Thanks! --s

    Since Landsat-8 isn't supported in your version, you will need to manually do the reflectance calculations (or in this case, TOA brightness temperature). Landsat-8 mtl files contain the radiance/reflectance/bt constants. For thermal bands, they are the radiance_multi_band for 10 and 11. Use the standard radiance=gain*DN+offset equation in Band Math. Then apply the BT equation using the K1 and K2 constants in the metadata. I am pretty sure the equations are the same in your help for Landsat calibration.

    Ok, one more question to make sure I have it: RADIANCE_MULT_BAND is the gain and RADIANCE_ADD_BAND is the bias? Thanks-- --s
