Landsat 7 data acquired by Landmap from Infoterra

Landsat 7 imagery was acquired by the Landmap project from Infoterra. Landsat 7 satellite is equipped with an Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) instrument, developed by Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing in Santa Barbara, California. Imagery is available for the whole of the UK from 1999 to 2001 at 15m resolution for the panchromatic and 25m resolution for the band 1-3 and 1-7 GeoTiff images. The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) funded Landmap service which ran from 2001 to July 2014 collected and hosted a large amount of earth observation data for the majority of the UK. After removal of JISC funding in 2013, the Landmap service is no longer operational, with the data now held at the NEODC.

Distribution Information

Data format

Data availability and file format

Panchromatic images are available in img format, with all others available in GeoTiff and ecw formats. All three formats can be opened in all earth observation image processing software including open/free software such as Erdas ER viewer or Basic ERS & Envisat (A)ATSR and Meris Toolbox (BEAM). img files are raster image files created by ERDAS IMAGINE that contain one or more layers, called bands, which include multiple image tiles that comprise the image, GeoTiff files are TIFF files which have geographic metadata embedded as tags within the TIFF file (which can then be used to position the image in the correct location and geometry on the screen of a geographic information display) and ecw (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) files are compressed images. Data are archived in the directory structure of region/year/format/data for ease of use, metadata are provided with their respective data files.
