ACOLITE combines the atmospheric correction algorithms for aquatic applications of Landsat and Sentinel-2 developed at RBINS.
It allows simple and fast processing of Landsat (5/7/8) and Sentinel-2 (A/B) images for coastal and inland water applications. Features include generation of RGB images before and after atmospheric correction, atmospheric correction of water bodies and extraction of rectangular regions of interest (defined by bounding coordinates). Level 2 outputs are surface reflectance (ρs=Rrs⋅π) and derived products that can be saved as PNG maps and geolocated datasets in a NCDF (NetCDF) file. The atmospheric correction is image based and needs no external inputs. A full publication describing the new dark spectrum fitting algorithm is forthcoming.
ACOLITE development was funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office STEREO program under contracts SR/37/135 (JELLYFOR project) and SR/00/325 (PONDER project), and by the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 606797 (HIGHROC project).
ACOLITE is provided by RBINS as an experimental tool, without explicit or implied warranty. Use of the program is at your own discretion and risk.
ACOLITE is distributed as a binary package on the REMSEM page and supported on the ACOLITE forum.
