 Why Landsat 8?

Landsat 8 operates in the visible, near-infrared, short
wave infrared, and thermal infrared spectrums.

Landsat 8 has Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the
Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS).

The TIRS focal plane uses Quantum Well Infrared
Photodetector arrays (known as QWIPs) for detecting the
infrared radiation.

OLI improves on past Landsat sensors and collects data
from nine spectral bands.
 DATASET

 The dataset is of Bangalore and nearby areas.

 There are 11 bands (i.e. 1 to 11) but we have
used four bands i.e Band 4 (Red), Band
5(Near-Infrared) and Band 10(TIRS 1) Band
11 (TIRS 2).
 Dataset has meta data about the satellite such
as angle etc.
Major problems in determining LST
using Landsat 8 remote sensing
imagery
 How to choose the appropriate algorithm to
determine the LST?
 How to obtain the input parameters of each
algorithm?
 How to verify the determined LST?
 ALGORITHMS USED

 AUTOMATED MAPPING
 SINGLE CHANNEL
 MONO WINDOW
 SPLIT WINDOW

Sensitivity Analysis of Mono Window

 It needs three parameters :-

1) the effective mean atmospheric temperature
2)LSE
3)atmospheric transmittance
