1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-134
A land use, land cover, and drainage map of the 2,000-square-mile Albermarle-Pamlico peninsula of eastern North Carolina has been prepared, at a scale of 1:125,000, as part of a larger study of the effects of large-scale land clearing on regional hydrology. The peninsula includes the most extensive area of wetland...

Landsat investigations of the northern Paradox basin, Utah and Colorado: Implications for radioactive waste emplacement Part 1. Lineaments and alignments
Jules D. Friedman, Shirley L. Simpson
1978, Open-File Report 78-900
The first stages of a remote-sensing project on the Paradox basin, part of the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) radioactive waste-emplacement program, consisted of a review and selection of the best available satellite scanner images to use in geomorphologic and tectonic investigations of the region. High-quality Landsat images in several spectral...

Plans for high-gain Landsat coverage of coastlines and shallow seas
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1978, Open-File Report 78-867
Recently the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) requested NASA to obtain Landsat coverage of the coastlines and shallow seas of the world, except for the United States, Canada, northern Europe, and the polar regions. Other agencies such as Interior have also requested coverage of specific shallow sea areas and there is...
Metropolitan land cover inventory using multiseasonal Landsat data

Landsat 3 Return Beam Vidicon (RBV) imagery (EC 62 Landsat)
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1978, Open-File Report 78-507
Enclosed is a copy of an early Landsat-3 RBV image of Cape Canaveral printed at 1:500,000 scale. The exposure setting was 5.6 milliseconds (ms) which resulted in some overexposure. With the shorter exposure times of 2.4 or 4 ms, which will generally be used, overall exposure should be more normal....

Principles of computer processing of Landsat data for geologic applications
James V. Taranik
1978, Open-File Report 78-117
The main objectives of computer processing of Landsat data for geologic applications are to improve display of image data to the analyst or to facilitate evaluation of the multispectral characteristics of the data. Interpretations of the data are made from enhanced and classified data by an analyst trained in geology....

Low-cost computer classification of land cover in the Portland area, Oregon, by signature extension techniques
Leonard Gaydos
1978, Open-File Report 78-186
Computer-aided techniques for interpreting multispectral data acquired by Landsat offer economies in the mapping of land cover. Even so, the actual establishment of the statistical classes, or "signatures," is one of the relatively more costly operations involved. Analysts have therefore been seeking cost-saving signature extension techniques that would accept training...

1978, Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (4) 63-76
The US Geological Survey's EROS Data Center (EDC) is experimenting with the production of digitally enhanced Landsat imagery. Advanced digital image processing techniques are used to perform geometric and radiometric corrections and to perform contrast and edge enhancements. The enhanced image product is produced from digitally preprocessed Landsat computer compatible...
Use of a remote computer terminal during field checking of Landsat digital maps
Charles J. Robinove, C.F. Hutchinson
1978, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (6) 511-514
Field checking of small-scale land classification maps made digitally from Landsat data is facilitated by use of a remote portable teletypewriter terminal linked by teleplume to the IDIMS (Interactive Digital Image Manipulation System) at the EDC (EROS Data Center), Sioux Falls, S. Dak. When field checking of maps 20 miles...

During August and September 1973, the Indus River Valley of Pakistan experienced one of the largest floods on record, resulting in damages to homes, businesses, public works, and crops amounting to millions of rupees. Tremendous areas of lowlands were inundated along the Indus River and major tributaries. Landsat data made...
