version. All images are 1024 x 768 pixels. Some have been resampled
from larger scenes, others are full-resolution fragments. For full-resolution
images, the ground resolution is given. For example: a resolution of
15 metres mean that one pixel equals 15 metres on the ground. |
The original, unstretched data for bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 of this scene fragment are available as a series of TIFF files, if you have suitable image processing software and want to experiment with image stretching and band combinations. Download .zip file (5 MB) ©copyright ESA |
RGB Band combinationsLandsat 7 has eight bands which may be combined in various ways
by assigning one band to each of the three visible channels: red,
green and blue, to create a false colour image. These first three
images show some typical band combinations in part of an image between
Novi Sad and Belgrade, Serbia, July 2000.. |

vegetation discrimination.

PanThe Landsat 7 Pan band has a resolution of 15 metres. It can be
used on its own (the extension of the band into the ifrared is useful
for vegetation discrimination, or combined with multi-spectral images.

3 2 1 + PanMerging the multi-spectral data with the 15 metre PAN band effectively
doubles the resolution of the image, though with colour changes due
to the extension of the PAN band into the infrared |

on rock morphology. See the 'Mountains' section for some good examples. |
