Hi Ted,

I confirm that the effective bandwith has been integrated (in Nov 2012) to
compute the Physical gain (for pan,ms 4bands, ms 8 bands) and use to
convert from DN to Luminance, see the code here :

http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB/file/51a7463b7c0b/Code/IO/otbWorldView2ImageMetadataInterface.cxx#l500

Concerning your issue, you can check firstly if the Top Of Atmosphere
reflectance is OK.

I think that the problem is related to the conversion from toa to toc
reflectance. There was recently a contribution on otb mailing list with a
new code based on the SMAC method to perform atmospheric correction:

http://www.cesbio.ups-tlse.fr/fr/telech_SMAC.htm

We planned to integrate it in a next OTB release but it is already
available on bitbucket:

https://bitbucket.org/grizonnetm/atmotb

To understand exactly where is the problem, can you give us also more info
on the ID which is not supported in OTB (where did you notice this in OTB?)
and what exactly must be changed manually in your case?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Manuel
