Landsat 5, 7, and 9?

Hello,

I am new to Polymer and am working to run L8 imagery, but is it possible to run L5, 7, and 9 on Polymer (is it supported?)

Best,

Hello,
These sensors are currently not supported.
L5 and L7 are not supported and Polymer's applicability to these sensors may be limited due to the available spectral bands.
L9 could be supported, and would require the development of a reader. I am currently not planning to work on it in the short term.
Cheers,
François

Hi François,

For L9, what is the development of a reader mean? I can run polymer L9 with the file "L8_angles", but is it correct?

Best,

It means that a code for reading the data should be written. These files are the Level1* files in the polymer folder.
I don't know the structure of L9 data, but I doubt that it will involve the program "L8_angles", which purpose is to generate the geometric data (sun and view angles) for Landsat8.
Cheers,
François

Hello,

Running L9 as if it were L8 did work for me as they are nearly identical. I just generated the L8_angles for it and then it ran well - I hope this is helpful!
