The surface albedo which is affected by the earth surface coverage or other surface characteristics is one of the important factors impacting remote sensing image information and therefore it can be calculated by integrating land coverage types with information of remote sensing images.Horqin sand land which was taken as an experimental area for study on Landsat-TM topography and atmospheric correction,then the Landsat-TM data inversion formula established by Liang was used to calculate the experimental zone albedo map;correlation analysis was performed to the surface albedo map and the land-use maps which was acquired by supervision and classification.The results revealed significant relations between land-use types and the surface albedo of study area.Additionally,the surface albedo and NDVI of the study area were statistically analyzed to obtain the study area's surface albedo and NDVI dependent equation.
