Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

Study area.A – Overview of study area on South Sulawesi, Indonesia. B – LAPAN-A3 RGB composite of NIR-R-G, C – Landuse/landcover of the study area taken from visually interpreted SPOT-6 pansharpened iamge (1.5 meter) acquired at September 14th 2019. Red rectangle in left image indicates the area of interest. The right image is the LAPAN-A3 RGB composite of NIR-R-G.

Fig. 2

The terrain elevation and its derivatives used in this study.A – ALOS World 3D 30 meter, B – Slope map, C – Aspect map, D – Histogram distribution of terrain elevation based on AW3D30, E – Histogram distribution of slopes, F – Histogram distribution of aspects.

Fig. 3

Geometric illustration shows all angles involved in calculating the incidence angle between normal to the ground and sunrays in slopped area. Image reproduced from Riaño et al. (2003).

Fig. 4

A – NIR-R-B False color composite of LAPAN-A3 and after applying topographic correction algorithms: B – cosine correction, C – improved cosine correction, D – Minnaert correction, E – modifed Minnaert correction, and F – two-stage normalization.

Fig. 5

Scatter plots and regression lines between the pixel value and local illumination (cos γi) over Near-infrared band for 3942 taken from both Precorrected (A) and corrected image using: B – cosine correction (Teillet et al. 1982), C – modified-cosine correction (Civco 1989), D – Minnaert correction (Minnaert 1941), E – modified Minnaert correction (Riaño et al. 2003), and F – two-stages normalization (Civco 1989) modified by (Law & Nichol 2004).

Statistics of pixel value before and after topographic correction_ A negative value indicates an increase in coefficient variation after correction_ Bold and highlighted value indicated the best performed algorithm (σ is the standard deviation, cv is the correlation coefficient, and R is the correlation coefficient)_
