The main objectives of computer processing of Landsat data for geologic applications are to improve display of image data to the analyst or to facilitate evaluation of the multispectral characteristics of the data. Interpretations of the data are made from enhanced and classified data by an analyst trained in geology. Image enhancements involve adjustments of brightness values for individual picture elements. Image classification involves determination of the brightness values of picture elements for a particular cover type. Histograms are used to display the range and frequency of occurrence of brightness values. Landsat-1 and-2 data are preprocessed at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to adjust for the detector response of the multispectral scanner (MSS). Adjustments are applied to minimize the effects of striping, adjust for bad-data lines and line segments and lost individual pixel data. Because illumination conditions and landscape characteristics vary / considerably and detector response changes with time, the radiometric adjustments applied at GSFC are seldom perfect and some detector striping

The Geological Survey operates three major field centers in Rolla, Mo., Menlo Park, Calif., and Denver, Colo. During fiscal year 1976, the facilities at each of these centers were expanded. On May 19, 1976, a new center was dedicated at Rolla. The $2 million facility was built on a 2.8-hectare (7-acre) tract and provides a gross area of over 8,825 square meters (95,000 square feet). The new center allows the consolidation under one roof of a number of functions that were previously performed in several separate facilities in the Rolla area. The facility houses about 340 scientists, hydrol-ogists, engineers, cartographers, technicians, and administrative personnel from the Survey's Administrative, Computer Center, Conservation, Topographic, and Water Resources Divisions. The center will also serve as a headquarters for about 110 field employees. Additionally, the General Services Administration maintains a small force at the center, and a Health Unit affords emergency medical treatment and conducts routine health services for all personnel.
