A first-look machine analysis of ERTS-1 data

Abstract

There are no author-identified significant results in this report. The preliminary analysis of a black and white image of channel 5 data together with tapes from the multispectral scanner is discussed. Four sub-projects based on the initial analysis are discussed. The sub-projects are the analysis by multispectral pattern recognition techniques of the full frame and two particular subframes and a study of the data quality. The procedures for conducting the study and the limitations in analyzing the data are examined. Methods for improving the analysis of the frames by first and second iteration are presented.
