Landsat 8 波段组合

Landsat 8 has been online for a couple of months now, and the images look incredible. While all of the bands from previous Landsat missions are still incorporated, there are a couple of new ones, such as the coastal blue band water penetration/aerosol detection and the cirrus cloud band for cloud masking and other applications. Here’s a rundown of some common band combinations applied to Landsat 8, displayed as a red, green, blue (RGB):

Natural Color	4 3 2
False Color (urban)	7 6 4
Color Infrared (vegetation)	5 4 3
Agriculture	6 5 2
Atmospheric Penetration	7 6 5
Healthy Vegetation	5 6 2
Land/Water	5 6 4
Natural With Atmospheric Removal	7 5 3
Shortwave Infrared	7 5 4
Vegetation Analysis	6 5 4

Here’s how the new bands from Landsat 8 line up with Landsat 7:

Landsat 7	Landsat 8
Band Name	Bandwidth (µm)	Resolution (m)	Band Name	Bandwidth (µm)	Resolution (m)
			Band 1 Coastal	0.43 – 0.45	30
Band 1 Blue	0.45 – 0.52	30	Band 2 Blue	0.45 – 0.51	30
Band 2 Green	0.52 – 0.60	30	Band 3 Green	0.53 – 0.59	30
Band 3 Red	0.63 – 0.69	30	Band 4 Red	0.64 – 0.67	30
Band 4 NIR	0.77 – 0.90	30	Band 5 NIR	0.85 – 0.88	30
Band 5 SWIR 1	1.55 – 1.75	30	Band 6 SWIR 1	1.57 – 1.65	30
Band 7 SWIR 2	2.09 – 2.35	30	Band 7 SWIR 2	2.11 – 2.29	30
Band 8 Pan	0.52 – 0.90	15	Band 8 Pan	0.50 – 0.68	15
			Band 9 Cirrus	1.36 – 1.38	30
Band 6 TIR	10.40 – 12.50	30/60	Band 10 TIRS 1	10.6 – 11.19	100
Band 11 TIRS 2	11.5 – 12.51	100

For the most part, the bands line up with what we’re used to, with some minor tweaking of the spectral ranges. The thermal infrared band from Landsat 7 is now split into two bands for Landsat 8. Whereas before you had one thermal band that was acquired at 60 m resolution (and resampled to 30 m) now you have increased spectral resolution at the cost of spatial resolution. It wouldn’t be remote sensing without tradeoffs, right?
