Abstract
Satellite images carries a lot of data. Very sophisticated methods of analyses may reveal very complicated nature of the observed objects. In case of night images, lights play the role of information sources. In this paper we would like to present results of the research aimed to describe light sources from satellite night images by providing description of their luminosity. The authors point source imaging data from the satellite systems available for use in the remote sensing analyses. They also present researches on the analysis of light propagation based on measurements of radiance of night city lights on the basis of modern satellite imaging systems and models of light propagation in the atmosphere. The paper includes a description of the technology of satellite scenes remote sense analysis with successive steps of the creation of night lighting map. The purpose of the article, in addition to the presentation of the current scientific achievements, based on the night satellite images showing the potential of this technology, is an attempt to draw attention to the problem of light pollution and to make a simple analysis of this phenomenon on the basis of such imaging.
