Satellite sensor raster types

There are many satellite sensor products to choose from, and each has properties that can be refined to modify the processing applied to the imagery when it's added to a mosaic dataset. There are several defaults, but you can further modify these and save them for your own use at another time.

Each raster type below can be refined by defining the product type. You have the option to add all product types if you are unfamiliar with your data. This adds all your particular data, no matter how it was provided by the vendor. However, if you only want to add specific products to your mosaic dataset, choose the appropriate product type. For example, for QuickBird imagery, you can choose All, Basic, Standard, Standard Orthoready, and Orthorectified. Each of these options maps directly to a product provided by the vendor.

You can further refine how your data is added and processed by defining a processing template. These templates are specific to the type of data in each band. For example, in Landsat 7 ETM+ Level 1 products, there are nine bands. Band 8 is panchromatic and has the highest spatial resolution; bands 1 through 5 and 7 are multispectral bands (blue, green, red, and infrared) and have a lower spatial resolution than the panchromatic band; and bands 6a and 6b are thermal bands. For the Level 1 products, there are six processing templates:

• All Bands—The data is added and grouped in any or all of the processing templates that apply. For example, for Landsat 7, three entries will be created in the mosaic dataset for each scene: Panchromatic (band 8), Multispectral (bands 1 through 5 and 7), and Thermal (bands 6a and 6b). A field is added to the attribute table named Tag, which identifies the group each band belongs to, for example, Pan for panchromatic, MS for multispectral, and Thermal for the thermal bands.
• Panchromatic—Only the panchromatic band is added to the mosaic dataset. For example, for Landsat 7, only band 8 is added.
• Multispectral—The multispectral bands are added as a single raster dataset in the mosaic dataset. For example, for Landsat 7, there will be a single row in the mosaic dataset representing bands 1 through 5 and 7.
• Pansharpen—The bands used to generate the pan-sharpened product are added to the mosaic dataset. This generally results in a four-band mosaic dataset using the red, green, blue, infrared, and panchromatic bands.
• Pansharpen and Multispectral—The standard combination of multispectral and panchromatic bands added to the mosaic dataset. For example, for Landsat, a multispectral group will be added, but it will have a minimum pixel size set to the maximum pixel size of the panchromatic image. That way, the mosaicked image will not be pan sharpened when you zoom out beyond the resolution of the panchromatic image.
• Thermal—The thermal bands are added as a single raster dataset in the mosaic dataset. For example, for Landsat 7, there will be a single row in the mosaic dataset representing bands 6a and 6b.

In addition to these processing templates, Landsat 4-5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, and Landsat 8 raster types support Higher Level Science Data Products. See Landsat 7 ETM+ for information on the product types and processing templates that support the Higher Level Science Data Products.

By default, the bands will be ordered sequentially—the first band in the source will be the first band in the raster added to the mosaic dataset, and so on. However, if you defined a Product Definition when creating the mosaic dataset, the data defined by these raster types will be added according to their wavelengths. For example, if the Product Definition was Natural Color (RGB), the bands with the wavelengths closest to the red, green, and blue wavelengths will be added to the raster in the mosaic dataset. If your dataset does not have a band of a particular wavelength, the closest wavelength will be chosen.

Note:

If a Product Definition is defined when creating the mosaic dataset, add the data using the correct template for the raster type. For example, if you defined Landsat for the mosaic dataset's product definition, it will be expecting a dataset with five bands. Therefore, you should use the raster type's Multispectral template. If you use the Pansharpen template, it only adds the first four bands to the mosaic dataset and the other will be empty.

The default template is often the combined Pansharpen and Multispectral template.

DEIMOS-2

The DEIMOS-2 raster type allows you to add raster data collected from the DEIMOS-2 satellite, which is the second DEIMOS Earth observation system. DEIMOS-2 is a very high resolution multispectral optical satellite that has a 4-meter multispectral resolution. The panchromatic band has a 1-meter resolution, and a pan-sharpened product of 0.75 meters can be created after it has been ground processed. It operates in a Sun-synchronous orbit at an approximate altitude of 620 km. It operates a push-broom sensor that records five bands. To learn more about this sensor, see Deimos-2 .

RADARSAT-2

RADARSAT-2 data can be added to a mosaic dataset using the RADARSAT-2 raster type. The RADARSAT-2 products consist of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image or signal data in addition to the metadata. The basic product generated by the RADARSAT-2 processor contains a product information file and image pixel data files. The RADARSAT-2 satellite differentiates the products by the beam mode and by the level of processing that has been applied to the data.

These datasets have information of the polarimetric data. The product information file for the various product types is encoded in XML format. The RADARSAT-2 raster type allows you to create a mosaic dataset where you can query the mosaic dataset attribute table for the imagery according to the metadata in the attribute table.

To learn more about this sensor, see MDA .

The following product types of RADARSAT-2 can be added using this raster type:

Product type	Processing templates
SLC—Slant Range Single Look Complex product SGF—SAR Georeferenced Fine SGX—SAR Georeferenced Extra SSG—SAR Systematic Geocorrected SPG—SAR Precision Geocorrected SCN—ScanSAR Narrow Beam SCW—ScanSAR Wide Beam	Raw Despeckle

SLC is a complex product type where each pixel is represented by a complex value. When applying a Speckle filter on an SLC product, intensity (magnitude) of the pixel value is used.

There are two processing templates that can be used depending on the level of processing required:

• Raw—The data will be added without applying any functions. This is the default template and is used for basic visualization.
• Despeckle—The data will be added with the Speckle function applied. The output is a speckle-filtered, smoothed image.

The following are the polarizations available with RADARSAT-2 products:

• HH—The radar signals are transmitted horizontally and received horizontally.
• VV—The radar signals are transmitted vertically and received vertically.
• HV—The radar signals are transmitted horizontally and received vertically.
• VH—The radar signals are transmitted vertically and received horizontally.

The RADARSAT-2 product can be single, dual, or quad polarized, depending on the beam mode. The beam modes are distinguished by a specific beam elevation angle and width used for transmitting and receiving signals. The various beam modes include the following:

• Single Beam—Standard, Wide, Fine, Multi-Look Fine, Ultra-Fine, Extended High, Extended Low, Standard Quad Polarization, and Fine Quad Polarization
• ScanSAR—ScanSAR Narrow and ScanSAR Wide
• Spotlight—Spotlight A

Sentinel-2

Sentinel-2 spacecraft has a Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) that collects data in spectral bands spanning from the visible and the near infrared to the shortwave infrared spectra at three different resolutions:

• 4 bands at 10 meters
• 6 bands at 20 meters
• 3 bands at 60 meters

Sentinel-2 MSI data is available as different product types and is systematically processed from Level 0 to Level 1C. Currently ArcGIS supports Level 1C products.

Level 1—This corresponds to Level 1C processing level. The product results from using a digital elevation model (DEM) to project the image in cartographic coordinates. Per-pixel radiometric measurements are provided in Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance with all parameters to transform them into radiance. Level 1C products are resampled with a constant Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) of 10, 20, and 60 meters, depending on the native resolution of the different spectral bands. In Level 1C products, pixel coordinates refer to the upper left corner of the pixel.

To learn more about this sensor, see European Space Agency .

Since the Sentinel-2 Level 1C MSI data is distributed in three different resolutions, ArcGIS generates three different types of composite products based on the resolutions.

Caution:

The SPOT DIMAP GeoTIFF product has a unique rearrangement of the band order, which allows you to open it directly in applications and see a standard false color image; however, the metadata references have not been rearranged. This can create some difficulty when you are trying to define specific functions, such as NDVI, because the near infrared band will be band 1 and not band 3. The raster type attempts to account for this modification; however, there may be unique cases where the metadata and file format are not designed as expected.

Red	2 (or XS 2)	2
