Abstract
The purpose of this report is to investigate character of MOS-1 MESSR data by visual interpretation of photographic images made with imaging method suitable for visual interpretation of TM and MSS images. Sea and land area were examined separately because of difference of data character. On sea area data character was not complicated and then MESSR and MSS images were simply compared. On land area detailed examination was made on two scene data of MESSR because there were various kinds of objects and data were very complicated. On scene 1, all possible color composites were prepared from MESSR data and influence of band combination and color sequence on visual interpretation was examined. On scene 2, three kinds of B/W images were made from MESSR data, and also TM and MSS images of the same area to MESSR were prepared to compare mutually by visual interpretation on various kinds of objects. It is found that these MESSR images are not so suitable to visual interpretation on land area because these data ranges are very narrow and data levels
are located low. However it is confirmed that these images are useful to sea area.
