Landsat Calibration Parameter Files

Calibration Parameter Files (CPFs) provide radiometric and geometric coefficients needed for processing of raw, uncorrected Landsat image data. Each timeframe specific CPF contains calibration coefficients that have been adjusted to correct for the time varying performance of the sensor.

Additional Files used in Landsat Calibration

Response Linearization Look Up Tables (RLUT)

Response Linearization Look Up Tables (RLUT) are additional files that accompany Calibration Parameter Files (CPF) and contain a mapping look up table to linearize the output of the Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) detectors.

Landsat Bias Parameter Files (BPF)

Bias Parameter Files (BPFs) supply radiometric correction parameters that are applied during Level-1 processing of Landsat 8 data. BPFs are available for Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 OLI and TIRS.
