Landsat 1-3 MSS (WRS-1) and Landsat 4-8
(WRS-2) shape files include path/row scene
boundaries and geographic coordinates.
Geographic coverage: -180 to 180 degrees longitude, -82.6 to 82.6
degrees latitude Projection information: Geographic Units: Decimal Degrees (DD) Datum: WGS84 Region attribute for the path/row is "pr." What is the Worldwide Reference System (WRS)? The Worldwide Reference System (WRS) is used to identify the path and row of each Landsat image. The path is the descending orbit of the satellite. Each path is segmented into 119 rows, from north to south. The Worldwide Reference System (WRS) is a global notation used in cataloging Landsat data. Landsat 8 and Landsat 7 follow the WRS-2, as did Landsat 5 and Landsat 4. Landsat 1, Landsat 2, and Landsat 3 followed WRS-1. Shape files for WRS-1 and -2 (path/row boundaries) are available to download. The Worldwide Reference System (WRS) is a global notation system for Landsat data. It enables a user to inquire about satellite imagery over any portion of the world by specifying a nominal scene center designated by PATH and ROW numbers. The WRS has proven valuable for the cataloging, referencing, and day-to-day use of imagery transmitted from the Landsat sensors. Spectral Enhancement SRH DU 3rd Year Spectral Enhancements Spectral enhancements change of the values of each pixels in the original image by transforming the values of each pixel in a multi- band image. Spectral enhancement is the process of creating new spectral data from available bands.
Spectral enhancement techniques are typically used to extract data
that is more more interpretable to the eye and more appropriate for analysis. Spectral Enhancements
It can also be used to minimize redundancy in multi-spectral data by
compressing bands of data that are similar. The most common spectral enhancement techniques are: Spectral Ratios and Indices - Band ratios and mathematical transformation that are commonly used in vegetation and mineral studies Principal Components Analysis (PCA) - Compresses redundant data values into fewer bands which are often more interpretable than the source data Tasseled Cap – Transforms and rotates the data structure axes to optimize data viewing for vegetation studies. Layer Selection and Stacking
Stack multiple (usually single band) images as bands/layers into a
single output multi-band image file. The stacked layers are saved to an .img file. Examples of when this is commonly used include IKONOS multispectral imagery delivered as separate TIFF or NITF files (one band per file) or to combine multiple derivate image measures (texture, independent components, and so forth) into a single multi- band image to improve classification accuracy. Tasseled Cap Tasseled Cap transformation offers a way to optimize data viewing for vegetation studies. For example, a geologist and a botanist are interested in different absorption features. They would want to view different data structures and therefore, different data structure axes. Both would benefit from viewing the data in a way that would maximize visibility of the data structure of interest.
This dialog opens when you click Raster tab > Spectral > Tasseled Cap. Tasseled Cap The different bands in a multispectral image can be visualized as defining an N-dimensional space where N is the number of bands.
Each pixel, positioned according to its data file value in
each band, lies within the N-dimensional space.
This pixel distribution is determined by the
absorption/reflection spectra of the imaged material. Tasseled Cap
Layer 1 (red) = the brightness component (indicates areas
of low vegetation and high reflectors) Layer 2 (green) = the greenness component (indicates vegetation) Layer 3 (blue) = the wetness component (indicates water or moisture) Natural Color
Attempts to simulate a true color RGB image from 3 band
Color Infrared imagery (such as SPOT XS) that lacks the blue wavelength information. The resulting output image is a fair approximation of the natural colors you would be able to get if you used Landsat TM data.
This dialog opens when you click Raster tab > Spectral > Natural Color. Natural Color
The generated output will be a three-band data set. The
pixel values of bands 1, 2, and 3 in this output data set are closely related to the pixel values in the red (band 3), green (band 2), and blue (band 1) bands of Landsat TM data. Because of this relation, a 1,2,3 (RGB) True Color display of the output is expected to simulate a 3,2,1 (RGB) True Color display of Landsat TM data. RGB to IHS
Apply an algorithm which transforms red, green, and blue
(RGB) colorspace values to intensity, hue, and saturation ( IHS) colorspace values.
