Spectral Bands



The multispectral LANDSAT image used for our application consists on four spectral bands MSS4, MSS5, MSS6, and MSS7 (MSS : Multispectral Scanner Subsystem), shown figure 1. Plateaux can be seen in the upper half, and a plain in the lower half of the image.

The wavelengths of the spectral bands are the following:


Band Wavelengths Colors
MSS4 from 0.5 to 0.6 $\mu$m. green - yellow
MSS5 0.6 to 0.7 $\mu$m. orange - red
MSS6 0.7 to 0.8 $\mu$m. red - near infrared
MSS7 0.8 to 1.1 $\mu$m. near infrared
