I. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this assignment are as mentioned below:
• To demonstrate how freely available Remote Sensing
data can be downloaded from some of the prominent
sources.
• To explore the downloaded as well as other Remote
Sensing data in MultiSpec© software.
• To select small part of image (Region of Interest) or
extract subset of an image.
• Combine separate image files into a single multispectral Fig. 1. ResourceSat LISS III data available at Bhuvan Open Data Archive.
image file.
II. GIVEN DATA
Links to download data are as follows (you can download
from any one source):
• ResourceSat LISS III- Bhuvan- tinyurl.com/databhuvan
• Sentinel 2A- Copernicus- https://tinyurl.com/copernics
• Landsat 7 or 8 USGS- https://tinyurl.com/exploresearth
III. SOFTWARE USED
MultiSpec 64-bit version 2022.08.11.

analyzing Earth observational multispectral image data such
as that produced by the Landsat series of Earth satellites and
hyperspectral image data from current and future airborne
and spaceborne systems such as AVIRIS [1].
IV. METHODOLOGY
Open one of the links mentioned above for data
downloading. I have downloaded data from Bhuvan [2].
• Click on Open Data Archive and Select Sensor type and
extent of data on map using tiles or coordinates as
shown in the Fig. 1.
Fig. 3. Single band image displayed in Multispec software.
• After selecting tiles on map click on next, a lot of
temporal data of tile will appear, preview selected data
and download them as shown in the Fig. 2.
• Open Multispec Software, click on File->Open Image,
select any one band and click OK. A black and white
single band image will be displayed, See Fig. 3.
• Now select all bands image and select the images to be
linked as illustrated in the Fig. 4.
• Then choose the Open button to display the image
corresponding to the linked image files, the "Display
Multispectral Image" dialogue box will be displayed.
• Click okay, an image will be displayed based on colour Fig. 4. Selecting Multiple band for displaye of multispectral image
scheme assigned as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.

displayed image. In file menu Numbers of line and
columns will be displayed. Note this numbers.
• Now click on processor and click on option Display
Specification. Now Change the range of lines and
columns with number copied above. Also increase the
magnification and click OK as shown in Fig. 7.

appropriate loacation.
V. RESULT
Remote Sensing data is downloaded from prominent
sources and using multispec software this data is explored.
Various bands combined to form a multispectral image. A
small part of this data is extracted using its extent and saved
at suitable location.
