Normalization by means of ordinary least squares regression method is compared with normalization using orthogonal regression. The procedure is applied to Landsat {TM} images over Nevada, Landsat {ETM}+ images over Morocco, and {SPOT} {HRV} images over Kenya. Results from this new automatic, combined {MAD}/orthogonal regression method, based on statistical analysis of test pixels not used in the actual normalization, compare favorably with results from normalization from manually obtained time-invariant features.", isbn_issn = "DOI:10.1016/j.rse.2003.10.024" }
