| Radiometric correction | Geometric correction |
|---|---|
| Radiometric correction enhances the accuracy of the pixel values by addressing distortions caused the sensitivity of the satellite sensor over time or across its field of view can affect the image data. | Geometric correction overcomes the distortions in the geometric relationship between the sensor and ground objects due to Earth's rotation, Earth's curvature, and satellite orbital errors. |
