description=Radiance2Carbon (R2C) is a QGIS Processing plugin that estimates carbon emissions 
    from multi-temporal Nighttime Lights (NTL) rasters. The algorithm supports several empirical 
    conversion models (Elvidge 2009, Shi 2016, Power Law, and Custom Linear) with automatic or 
    manual threshold filtering to isolate significant illuminated areas. 
    Outputs include CSV reports (carbon estimates and NTL statistics) and PNG visualizations 
    (trend plots, comparison grids, and per-year distributions).
about=This plugin provides a straightforward way to transform Nighttime Lights insights into 
    spatially explicit carbon emission indicators. It is suitable for urban sustainability 
    studies, spatial economics, and monitoring of energy-related development patterns using 
    satellite data such as VIIRS or DMSP-OLS. 
    The tool supports batch processing, CRS-safe boundary overlays, and automatic year parsing 
    from raster filenames. 
    Developed by Firman Afrianto and Adipandang Yudono.
