Abstract

Statistical analysis and the construction of reflectance spectra of ground cover types around Wageningen were used to compare the enhanced spectral information of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellites with information provided by 1st-generation Landsat MSS. TM band 5 was a useful addition to the normal information in the range of visible and near-infrared light, because some crops had a larger decrease in reflectance than others in this band. The low spatial resolution of the thermal band was a major limitation for many applications, although the information was additional to the bands at smaller wavelengths.
