Abstract
Radiometric balancing is a form of radiometric correction that can be applied to radar imagery. However, its application can be based on untenable assumptions about the characteristics of the scene and so can be unreliable. The method of radiometrically balancing an image and the requirements of the technique are outlined along with an example of where its use would be inappropriate. A recommendation is made against policies of pre-dissemination radiometric balancing and it is suggested that users should evaluate the use of other techniques which may be more suitable for their imagery.Keywords
