Abstract
Correct registration of LANDSAT MSS data to the corresponding topographical map has an important role when using LANDSAT data for various purpose. Even if it were so useful information, difficulty of the registration to the map would cause decreasing of the usefulness. Here a method is considered by which easy registration of LANDSAT data with the corresponding topographical map will be enable and a LANDSAT map was made as an application.
Raw LANDSAT MSS CCT data acquired by NASA has two coordinates axes. One is an orbital axis and another is approximately orthogonal one to it. From this raw data, a new LANDSAT CCT array which is suitable for a 1: 25, 000 topographical map was made. It is called 1: 25, 000 LANDSAT map temporarily Precision of the registration is estimated about ±40m from residual errors on ground control points.
This paper consists of following contents:
1) Method of ground control points selection for LANDSAT image orientation and examples.
2) Measurement method of ground control points on a LANDSAT image and the precision.
3) Concept of LANDSAT map.
4) Algorism for LANDSAT map compilation.
5) Trial LANDSAT map and the evaluation.
