Title: High-Resolution LANDSAT for Geologic Studies: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Clyde Hubbard, R. E. Sheriff, Howard Brister

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

LANDSAT images show large areas under the same illumination conditions and from a nearly constant viewpoint, thereby making it possible to see large but very subtle geologic features. Geometrically corrected images with resolving power as great as the intrinsic pixel size can be displayed in false color with the colors so distributed as to maximize the visibility of features. Evidence of geologic features as portrayed in LANDSAT images is obvious when shown with overlays.
