slope correction

[′slōp kə‚rek·shən]
(geology)
A tape correction applied to a distance measured on a slope in order to reduce it to a horizontal distance, between the vertical lines through its end points. Also known as grade correction.

Ulander [25] proposed a radiometric slope correction method based on the angle between the slope surface and the image plane, and proved that the former correction algorithms that based on local incidence angles or surface tilt angles were approximations to his correction method.
