LST in QGIS using Landsat-8

Описание: This tutorial is about calculating land surface temperature from Landsat-8 using Semi Automatic Classification plugin (SCP) along use of manual equations in QGIS.
NOTE: The data used here is Landsat-8 Collection 2 Level 1 and it is highly suggested to use cloud free data or very less cloud cover available data for better LST results.
The version of SCP plugin used here is 7.8; installing latest SCP plugin might have different interface so it is suggested to download this plugin version manually.

Download SCP plugin manually
   • Install SCP plugin lower version | QGIS

Equations used (Based on Single Channel Algorithm):
1. Top of Atmosphere(ToA) spectral radiance and Brightness temperature(BT) were carried out through SCP plugin.

2. NDVI: (B5 - B4)/(B5 + B4)

3. Proportion of Vegetation(PoV):
PoV= [(NDVI – NDVImin)/(NDVImax – NDVI¬min )]2

5. Land Surface Emissivity(ε):
ε = 0.004 * Pv + 0.986

6. Land Surface Temperature(LST) [ in Kelvin ]
LSTK = BT / (1 + (10.895 * BT / 14380) * ln(ε))

7. LST in celcius
LSTC = LSTK – 273.15
