Abstract

The use of satellite platforms have become an essential tool to follow phenomenon related to the life in Earth. The Landsat 7 satellite takes images of Cuba every 16 days, which are free to download since October 2008. When one of Landsat’s sensors failed in 2003, invalid data strips (gaps) appeared in the images. The Phase 2 Gap-Fill Algorithm is implemented in the software to correct lost data in the Landsat 7 scenes. It has a direct impact on cartographic studies and to follow environmental phenomenon in Cuba.
