Task 2. The thermal image band that we have <strong>is</strong> low gain representation. Given a subset <strong>of</strong> Landsat<br />

ETM+ band 6 image sub_etm6, you are required to perform the following quantitative analys<strong>is</strong>:<br />

Question 6. Determine the L MAX, L MIN, Q CALMAX, Q CALMIN values for the low gain representation <strong>of</strong><br />

ETM+ band6, and construct the correct formula for converting the DN values in band 6 to the<br />

absolute radiance.<br />

Question 7. Now apply (using band math) th<strong>is</strong> formula to the entire image to calculate the<br />

absolute radiance for each pixel, and determine the range <strong>of</strong> radiance values for th<strong>is</strong> sub image using<br />

the compute stat<strong>is</strong>tics function.<br />

Question 8. Determine average radiance values for typical pixels <strong>of</strong> water, grass, forest, buildings<br />

and roads.<br />

Question 9. Write out the formula to convert the absolute radiance to temperature. Using band<br />

math apply th<strong>is</strong> formula to each pixel in the image to calculate the effective at-satellite temperatures,<br />

and find out the temperature range for th<strong>is</strong> sub image and also determine the temperatures for the<br />

typical pixels <strong>of</strong> water, grass, forest, buildings and roads you analyzed in Question 8.<br />

Question 10. Smooth the temperature image using a low-pass filter and d<strong>is</strong>play the temperature<br />

image using the pseudo-color mode and select an appropriate color table to d<strong>is</strong>play surface<br />

temperature. Make a hardcopy map to show the spatial d<strong>is</strong>tribution <strong>of</strong> the temperature.<br />
