High throughput Landsat imagery film recorder High throughput Landsat imagery film recorder
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center is responsible for processing, archiving, reproducing, and distributing satellite and aircraft remotely-sensed Earth imagery data in both film and digital format. Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) and Return Beam Vidicon (RBV) sensor data alone represents a daily recording requirement of 23 billion pixels on 1000 feet of film...

The role of remote sensing in the Department of Interior The role of remote sensing in the Department of Interior
Since its creation in 1849, USDI has faced the challenging mission of being custodian of the Nation's natural resources. USDI is directly responsible for management of 30 % of the United State's land area, including administration of more than 600 million acres of Federal land and 300 million acres of subsurface lands where mineral rights have been retained by the Federal Government.

An assessment of Landsat data acquisition history on identification and area estimation of corn and soybeans An assessment of Landsat data acquisition history on identification and area estimation of corn and soybeans
During the past decade, numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of satellite remote sensing for providing accurate and timely crop area information. This study assessed the impact of Landsat data acquisition history on classification and area estimation accuracy of corn and soybeans. Multitemporally registered Landsat MSS data from four acquisitions during the 1978 growing...

A survey of image processing developments in support of remote sensing A survey of image processing developments in support of remote sensing
New algorithm developments for image processing (IP) will occur throughout the 1980's, resulting from evolution in computer hardware and sensors as well as continuing research. This report will describe the areas of algorithm development that are occurring in applications, research, and operational environments. Included is an overview of image processing activities at institutions which...

Resolving the percentage of component terrains within single resolution elements Resolving the percentage of component terrains within single resolution elements
An approximate maximum likelihood technique employing a widely available (BMD) discriminant analysis program has been developed for resolving the percentage of component terrains within single resolution elements. The method employs all four channels of Landsat data simultaneously and does not require prior knowledge of the percentage of components in mixed pixels. For five test cases...
