RS:Principles: Landsat 7 Data

This section of the tutorial describes the various Landsat 7 data products provided by this Web site, including raw image data from all 7 bands of the Thematic Mapper, various three-band color composites, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) imagery, and the 40-level unsupervised classification. Each section describes how the data product is created and provides examples of each product. The products described in these sections of the tutorial are only a subset of those provided by Landsat 7 and other multispectral remote sensing platforms.

One can also refer to the resources section of this tutorial as a starting point for finding other sources of remote sensing data and imagery.

The primary topics in this section of the tutorial include the following:
