Abstract :
Aerosol optical thickness (AOT) is retrieved from HJ-1A/B images using Structure Function Method (SFM) over Beijing and its surrounding area. SFM is discussed by establishing structure function formula, choosing window size and distance value. Retrieved result is validated by the ground-based observation.
