    Description: There are small differences between the average DN for the 16 detectors in each band, typically 0.8 DN; the standard deviations also differ typically by 0.4 DN. Differences of mode in a band are as large as 6 DN. Some DN levels appear to be strongly favored over adjacent levels. Differences between forward and reverse scans are approximately 0.1 DN in the mean, and 0 to 0.6 DN in the standard deviation. Geometrically resampled images (P data), in which the fixed correspondence between lines and single detectors is lost, are statistically similiar to the ensemble of detectors in each band in A data. The magnitude of inter-detector variation is readily seen by making an image of the first derivative in the vertical (line) direction of a flat field and stretching progressively wider ranges to gray; most detectors differ from their neighbors by 1 to 2 DN. The film output from the GSFC filmwriter used for TM images was found to have scale errors in both sample and line directions corresponding to four pixels in a TM image, and skew corresponding to three pixels.

    Description: The geometric fidelity of the GSFC filmwriter used for Thematic Mapper (TM) images was assessed by measurement with accuracy better than three micrometers of a test grid. A set of 55 control points with known UTM coordinates was measured on a digital display of part of band 5 of the TM image of the Washington, D.C. area and fitted to the control points. The tests indicate that the geometric fidelity of TM images is likely to be higher than the ability of film recorders to reproduce the images.

    Description: The geometric accuracy (GA) and errors in imagery by Landsat-4 and -5 were examined using data from regions with a minimal topography. A least-squares comparison was made between ground truth digitized photographs and TM data for prominent features displayed on a 1:24,000 map. The algorithms used for the transformation of the Landsat data to a Cartesian system are provided. Landsat-5 images had a calculated error of 11.2 m (0.4 pixel) and could not be improved with skew and affine-distortion corrections. However, the digitized images, including road tracks, were considered detailed enough for standard 1:50,000 maps. Landsat-5 imagery, when fully corrected, was consistently superior to Landsat-4 data.

    Description: The geometric characteristics of LANDSAT 4 images were studied. The extent of image distortion caused by the physical process of writing the LANDSAT 4 images on film was determined. The geometric accuracies inherent in the digital images themselves were characterized. Test materials consisted of film images of test targets generated by the laser beam recorders (LBR), the Optronics Photowrite film writer, and digital image films of a strip 600 lines deep across the full width of band 5 of the Washington, D.C. Thematic Mapper scene. The tests were made by least squares adjustment of an array of measured image points to a corresponding array of control points. The film test array consists of 25 test points, and the image test array consists of 60 test points, resulting in a model that can be used to characterize the low frequency, random geometric distortions of the images. The tests were not suitable for examining jitter or similar high-frequency distortions.
