What are the bands of Landsat 8?
What are the bands of Landsat 8?
Landsat 8 bands from the OLI sensor are coastal, blue, green, red, NIR, SWIR-1, SWIR-2 and cirrus. These 8 bands have a ground resolution of 30 meters. Then, the panchromatic band has a finer resolution of 15 meters.
What are the best Landsat spectral bands for use in my research?

| Band 5 – red | Band 2 – red | 0.6-0.7 |
| Band 6 – Near Infrared | Band 3 – Near Infrared | 0.7-0.8 |
| Band 7 – Near Infrared | Band 4 – Near Infrared | 0.8-1.1 |
What is Bqa band Landsat 8?
What is the QA band? As summarized on the USGS Landsat 8 product information website: “Each pixel in the QA band contains a decimal value that represents bit-packed combinations [QA bits] of surface, atmosphere, and sensor conditions that can affect the overall usefulness of a given pixel.”
What do the bands mean in remote sensing?
Bands and Wavelengths Spectral remote sensing data are collected by powerful camera-like instruments known as imaging spectrometers. Imaging spectrometers collect reflected light energy in “bands.” A band represents a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum. You can think of it as a bin of one “type” of light.
What band is blue, green red Landsat 8 image?
Band Combinations for Landsat 8
| Landsat 7 | Landsat 8 | |
|---|---|---|
| Band Name | Bandwidth (µm) | Bandwidth (µm) |
| Band 1 Blue | 0.45 – 0.52 | 0.45 – 0.51 |
| Band 2 Green | 0.52 – 0.60 | 0.53 – 0.59 |
| Band 3 Red | 0.63 – 0.69 | 0.64 – 0.67 |
What is the QA band?
Landsat Collection 2 Level-1 and Level-2 Quality Assessment (QA) bands provide useful information to users wanting to optimize the value of pixels as a first level indicator of certain conditions within Landsat data.
