The following images demonstrate the benefits of merging LANDSAT's 30 meter multispectral Thematic Mapper data with India's IRS-1C 5.8 meter panchromatic data. The multispectral LANDSAT TM data enhances the color differentiation among features; while the panchromatic imagery, sometimes referred to as black and white or grayscale, enhances the spatial resolution of the final image.
