Abstract

The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) Operational Land Imager (OLI) is the successor to the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) instrument and features a pushbroom architecture that is more geometrically stable than the whiskbroom scanner of the ETM+. As a tradeoff of this architecture selection, imagery must be terrain corrected to ensure accurate band registration. This paper compares the geometric performance requirements for the two instruments and discusses the implications for the Landsat user community.
