    Description: The objectives of this investigation are to quantify the performance of the Thematic Mapper, as manifested by the quality of its image data, in order to suggest improvements in data production and to assess the effects of the data quality on its utility for land resources applications. Analyses of radiometric, spatial, spectral, and geometric effects, with primary emphasis on radiometric effects are included. This effort is part of the LANDSAT 4/5 Image Data Quality Analysis (LIDQA) program sponsored by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

    Description: The launch of LANDSAT-4 in July 1982 represents a continuation in the remote sensing of earth resources. The 80-m spatial resolution provided by the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) on board the satellite is fine enough to resolve many natural features and land-use details in both rural and urban settings. The second sensor of the spacecraft, the Thematic Mapper (TM), introduce a new era of sensing with refined spatial resolution (30 m) and expanded spectral coverage (7 bands). This paper describes results from engineering studies of the characteristics of digital image data from the two LANDSAT-4 sensors are described. These studies form a part of the LANDSAT-4 Image Data Quality Analysis program (LIDQA). The image data were generally found to be of high quality and the TM provided several improvements over the MSS, in its spatial and spectral characteristics.

    Description: The effects of scan angle and interdetector differences on thematic mapper radiometry were analyzed. The data set used for this study consisted of computer compatible tapes (CCT's) of raw data (CCT-BT), radiometrically corrected data (CCT-AT), and geometrically corrected data (CCT-PT) for two scenes, 40049-16262 (north central Iowa) and 40037-16031 (Arkansas). Radiometric corrections currently performed were found to improve overall consistency of data, but some residual stripping remains in the corrected data due to the quantization of signal values and other effects. A new type of banding was discovered which is related to the bi-directional scanning of TM. An initial empirical model was developed for correcting this effect in band 1, but should receive additional development. The scan angle effects observed corresponded to those expected based on atmospheric considerations and scene characteristics. Low frequency scan-to-scan noise was detected in band 1, band 7, and to a lesser extent in bands 2 and 3. The band 1 detectors which exhibited this noise showed strong correlation in their variation.

    Description: The performance of the Thematic Mapper (TM) as manifested by the quality of its image data is examined in order to suggest possible improvements for data production and assess the effects of data quality on its utility for land resources applications. The major emphasis is on the radiometric characteristics of TM data, with some attention to spatial and spectral characteristics.

    Description: Engineering analyses of Thematic Mapper (TM) image data have been conducted, giving particular attention to the radiometric characterization of the sensor. While the data in general were found to be excellent, anomalies do exist in the data from both Landsat-4 and Landsat-5 TM. A summary is provided of the Landsat-4 TM image data. The present paper concentrates, however, on recent analyses of Landsat-5 TM data and comparisons of the radiometry of the two sensors. One of the specific topics covered is within-line droop, a phenomenon whereby the signal levels of the sensor change systematically during the active scan. Attention is also given to scan-correlated level shifts, an effect which raises or lowers the signal level of all pixels in a scan line or set of scan lines. A comparison of Landsat-4 and Landsat-5 radiometric corrections is also discussed.

    Description: The results of analyses of the radiometric characteristics of digital image data produced by the Landsat 4 MSS and TM sensors are reviewed. The MSS analysis found high quality data comparable to the products of previous Landsats, except for a low-level coherent noise effect having a magnitude of about 0.5 counts in each band and a spatial period of about 3.6 pixels. The TM analysis found excellent spatial resolution, generally high data quality and expected scan-angle effects. Procedures for equalizing detector responses appear to be working as intended. Two low-amplitude artifacts also were discovered. The first is associated with the direction of scan (TM employs bidirectional scanning). The second, a very low employs bidirectional scanning). The second, a very low frequency level-shift artifact which produces image banding that is most pronounced in TM1, could be a serious problem for water-related applications or others where average signal levels are low. Correction procedures are under investigation.

    Description: Spectral characteristics of the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) on board Nimbus 7, the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on NOAA 6 and 7 and the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) on Landsat 1-3 are analyzed to comparatively assess their utility for land use analysis through remote sensing. The examination of simulated in-band radiances suggests that each sensor would respond to incident radiation reflected from a typical agricultural scene in a highly comparable manner, with most of the variation captured in two physically related variables. Several measures of green vegetation are examined and features are proposed for crop condition assessment with consideration of the course resolution characteristics of AVHRR and CZCS.
