Abstract
A method of formating and listing of the parameter blocks and a part of image data in the CCT of GMS has been developed.
GMS data are edited on buffer memory according to data control parameters and description control parameters. Contents of the parameter blocks are converted to characters being added the information of title, page, item, description, data position, data length and sub description. Lists of one line of image data are dumped in decimal and hexadecimal types.
This method is also applicable to the CCT data of LANDSAT-MSS, LANDSAT-RBV and NOAA. Formating of LANDSAT-RBV data and of NOAA data have been conducted.
The merits of applying this method are as follows:
1) Users can interpret the data of parameter blocks more easily.
2) Using the dump lists of image data, users can grasp the general properties of image data before their analyse.
3) The formating technique may be applicable to the uniform data management system of the remote sensing data in the future.
