ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SAN MATÍAS GULF OBTAINED FROM LANDSAT-TM AND ETM+ DATA

Improvement in absolute calibration accuracy of Landsat-5 TM with Landsat-7 ETM+ data

The ability to detect and quantify changes in the Earth’s environment depends on satellites sensors that can provide calibrated, consistent measurements of Earth’s surface features through time. A critical step in this process is to put image data from subsequent generations of sensors onto a common radiometric scale. To evaluate Landsat-5 (L5) Thematic Mapper’s (TM) utility in this role, image...

Complementarity of ResourceSat-1 AWiFS and Landsat TM/ETM+ sensors

A C++ program for retrieving land surface temperature from the data of Landsat TM/ETM+ band6

A C++ language-based software tool for retrieving land surface temperature (LST) from the data of Landsat TM/ ETM+ band6 is developed. It has two main functional modules: (1) Three methods to compute the ground emissivity based on land use/cover classification image, NDVI image and the ratio values of vegetation and bare ground and (2) Converting digital numbers (DNs) from TM/ETM+ band6 to LST....

Integration of Lidar and Landsat Etm+ Data

Lidar data provide accurate measurements of forest canopy structure in the vertical plane however current lidar sensors have limited coverage in the horizontal plane. Landsat data provide extensive coverage of generalized forest structural classes in the horizontal plane but are relatively insensitive to variation in forest canopy height. It would therefore be desirable to integrate lidar and L...
