San Julian Anticlinorium
Thematic Mapper band 1
This image is the first channel of the Thematic Mapper scanner mounted
on the Landsat 4 and 5 satellite. Its spectral range corresponds
approximately to what humans view as blue. Its specific range on the
electromagnetic spectrum is 0.45µ to 0.52µ and is useful for
distinguishing soil from vegetation and deciduous from coniferous plants.
This image has been contrast enhanced using a gaussian stretch with a sigma
value of 2.5 and a light high pass filter applied to bring out detail.
The raw un-enhanced version of
this file is available.
