Folks,

Does anyone have any tricks or procedures for georeferencing the multiple
resolutions of Landsat 7 ETM+ data?

I would like to georeference both the panchromatic and multispectral data
(thermal band excluded) without having to re-define the same GCP's from one
band to the next. I've given some thought to a possible method but wanted to
see if anyone else has a better way of doing it:

1. Import the multispectral GeoTIFF's into a single file.
2. Import the pan GeoTIFF into a separate file.
3. Collect GCP's using the higher-resolution pan data.
4. Export the GCP's, and then DIVIDE the CELL coordinates by two, leaving
the MAP coordinates unchanged.
5. Import the GCP's into the multispectral file.
6. Safety check! Reassess the GCP's on the multispectral data.

I'm assuming here that the pan data and multispectral data are exactly
co-registered, and that the cell dimension of the pan data is exactly half
that of the multispectral data. I figure that if both images have the same
top-left cell coordinate of (0,0) then a GCP at cell (20,20) in the pan band
should be the same as one at (10,10) in the multispectral bands.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
