| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. The NASA/Cousteau experiment showed that under suitable conditions and with calibration data, the bottom of clear tropical seas can be mapped with LANDSAT to a depth of 22 meters with a root-mean-square error of about 10 percent. This application required the high gain setting of band 4 of the MSS. The experiment also confirmed that a somewhat lower waveband than band 4 would increase the water penetration capability of future LANDSATS. Other experiments illustrated by the reprinting of upper Chesapeake Bay indicate that the original LANDSAT signals must be modulated and optimized for the photographic and lithographic processes. Work by the Canadian mapping agency indicates significant improvements in the control identification and geometric accuracy of LANDSAT cartographic applications. |
