Experimental Assessment of Improved Spatial Resolution Landsat Data.

Abstract

This report describes the possible uses of higher resolution (25 meter) space-derived images for delineating and measuring surface features of interest in the Corps of Engineers' Civil Works Program. Following a discussion of imaging sensors and computer processing methods, test evaluations are described in which Landsat multispectral scanner data and SEASAT SAR data were interpreted for surface features. The comparative advantages of the two data sources are discussed, and the complementary nature of Landsat MSS and SEASAT SAR images is displayed in the image analyses. Image examples are included for both background discussion and test site evaluation. (Author)
