β€œHIGHLIGHTS:
β€’ [They] evaluated the impacts of topographic correction on forest mapping in the mountains.
β€’ The enhanced C-correction and the physical model reduced topographic effects.
β€’ The corrected Landsat imagery time series resulted in higher accuracy.
β€’ Terrain information improved classification but not as much as topographic correction.
β€’ [They] recommend using topographic correction for forest cover mapping..."

Integrated topographic corrections improve forest mapping using Landsat imagery

In mountainous environments, topography strongly affects the reflectance due to illumination effects and cast shadows, which introduce errors in land …
