view raster product in 10.1

[KeotaSilaphone]

How can I view the raster product (Multispectral file) of a Landsat image in 10.1? I thought this was supposed to be automatically created with the L1T product and viewable in 10.1. What settings do I need to have to see this?

Oddly enough, when I view the same Landsat raster files in 10.3 I can see the Multispectral file, just not in 10.1. I have to view the raster products in 10.1 since that's what we are running at our university.

Not sure if you have tried this yet, but see if you can view it with the Image Analysis Window within ArcMap:

Hi Chris,

I was actually using Image Analysis to view the raster images in both 10.3 and 10.1.

Hi Keota,

Which Landsat sensor is the product from (e.g., 5, 7, 8)?

[KeotaSilaphone]

Landsat 7.

I know how to create a composite using the composite button in image analysis (temporary file) and composite raster tool in arctoolbox (raster file saved to disk space). I just want to know why the raster product isn't showing up in the folder containing all of the bands and text files downloaded from Glovis when viewed in 10.1. The raster product is visible in 10.3.

The Landsat 7 L1T raster product should be supported in 10.1 but I pulled down a few samples from Glovis and reproduced the behavior as well.  Additionally, I was unsuccessful in adding it to a mosaic dataset using the Landsat 7 ETM+ raster type, which should also be supported.  It appears that 10.1 is not recognizing the *_MTL.txt metadata file required to work with the Landsat imagery as a raster product.

I wasn't able to find anything documented but I am leaning towards a possible defect or known (but undocumented) limitation.  I am curious and plan to look further into the issue when time allows and will pass along anything I find out.

Okay. Thank you for looking into this. I thought I was doing something wrong and spent a couple of days trying to figure out what setting(s) I had in 10.3 that were not in 10.1.

Please let me know what you find.

The Metadata from the Landsat (and other providers) does change from time to time. We try and keep up in the latest version of ArcGIS, but these updates do not get back ported to the older versions of ArcGIS.  This is most likely why some scenes work and others not. You will see new Raster Products being added and updated in each version.
