This document provides information about gain settings for the ETM+ sensor and asks two questions. It gives the radiance values for four ground cells and asks what the digital number values would be for each cell under low and high gain modes in an 8-bit image from Band 1 of ETM+. It also asks whether the image should be acquired in low or high gain mode and at what radiance level saturation would occur in each mode.

Q.4 The following table gives the gain settings for ETM+. (L RadiancevaluesinWattsm -2 ster -1 m -1 ) (a) Supposing that the radiance-at-the-sensor of four ground resolution cells A, B, C, and D are, respectively, 180, 194, 200 and 250 Watts m -2 ster -1 m -1 , what would be the DN values of these cells in an 8-bit image acquired by ETM+in Band 1 under both low gain and high gain modes? The maximum DN value is 255, and the scene was acquired over a desert environment on 31 March 2000. (b) Should this image be acquired in low gain mode or high gain mode? Why? At what level of radiance would saturation occur in the two modes?
