(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

, 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?
