AN-A46: LANDSAT scene-to-scene registration assessment

LANDSAT-4 MSS data and TM data for the 16 September 1982 scene were received. MSS data were reformatted and scene to scene registration, with previous MSS data is nearing completion. LANDSAT-2 to LANDSAT-2 MSS registration was completed. The results obtained serve as a baseline against which to compare the registrations containing LANDSAT-4 MSS. The TM data set as originally processed for the Orleans area had excessive yaw which exaggerated the forward/reverse scan pixal alignment, GSFC software was subsequently modified to minimize the problem. A detector stitching problem most pronounced in bodies of water was noted for TM channel 3 (0.63 micrometer to 0.69 micrometer).
