The topographic correction is the most critical component part of the remote sensing quantitative study of rugged terrain areas. According to the idea of slope grading in combination with the simplified Three Factor + C model, a Three Factor +C +Slope model was established to eliminate the defect of traditional and empirical topographic correction using the same coefficient as the slope changing. The results show that the Three Factor+C+ Slope model is better than the C model, the SCS model, the Three Factor model and the Three Factor + C model in six calibration test indicators comprising the mean value, the standard deviation, the correlation between pixel value and illumination coefficient, the radiance discrepancy before and after correction, the dispersion index and the homogeneity coefficient. Due to its advantages such as excellent physical mechanism and considerable removal of the terrain effects on radiance, the Three Factor + C + Slope model is feasible and worthy of promotion.
