A Statistical Split Window Method Without Atmospheric Profile Input for Temperature and Emissivity Retrieval from Airborne Long-Wavelenght Infrared Hyperspectral Imagery
1. Introduction Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Emissivity (LSE) are critical physical parameters for analyzing and modeling the Earth’s surface (Manolakis et al., 2019). LST and LSE represent the thermal properties and types of land surfaces, respectively, and together they influence the radiance emitted from the ground. Given the limited availability of open-access long-wavelength infrared (LWIR)
