Using remote sensing indices to reduce effects of hillshade on Landsat 8 imagery

This paper presents the effects of hillshade on the spectral values of Landsat and application of remote sensing image indices to reduce the influence of topography. This research uses the calibrated Landsat 8 images that are provided by the Center for Science and Earth Observation, known as the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS), the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
