See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge What are the different types of image I can download/buy? _Very brief - needs a proper entry_ Raw data (typically Level 0) (as with other levels, annotated with appropriate metadata). Only useful if you're studying the RS system itself, or data processing systems Processed Images (typically Level 1, 2) Processing includes: + Radiometric correction - compensating for known characterisitcs of the sensor. + Atmospheric correction - compensating for the distortion (lens effect) of the atmosphere. + Geometric correction - referencing the image to Lat/Long on the Earth's surface, based on the satellite's position and viewing angle at the time of the acquisition. Uses either a spheriod model of Earth or a detailed terrain model; the latter enables higher precision in hills/mountains. Requires Ground Control Points (GCPS: points in the image which can be accurately located on Earth) for high precision. The various part-processed levels are suitable for a image processing studies. Most Remote Sensing and GIS applications will benefit from the highest level of processing available, including geocoding. Geocoded Projected Imagery (typically Level 3) The image is mapped to a projection of the Earth, and in some cases also composited (ie several images are mosaiced to show a larger scene). Browse Images Images you can download from the net are likely to be browse images. These are typically GIF or JPEG format, although a number of others exist. Whilst providing a good idea of what is in an image, they are not useful for serious applications. They have the advantage of being a manageable size - typically of the order of 100Kb-1Mb (compared to 100Mb for a full scene) and are often available free. A browse version of any image (except raw data) can be made.
