Abstract
LANDSAT MSS installes six different detectors per band, which enable a simultaneous scan of six lines at once. However, a cyclic pattern of line noise can be seen in the LANDSAT imagery, because of small differences among six different detectors. This pattern is apparent especially in the area of water or forest, where reflectance is uniform and low.
The paper describes a methodology to correct radiometric differences among those detectors, by using accumulated histogram. Based upon the fact that respective accumulated histograms for each detector will become equal statistically, a methodology was proposed to correct original data to make almost same distribution within a certain allowance for six accumulated histograms corresponding to six different detectors.
