Is there a way to use it offline? I have a standalone computer which can not be connected to the Internet due to security restrictions.

I am clicking on "showThumbnail" but I am not getting any response. And all the othe commands like "showMetadata" are not responding as well. I would like to know how to correct that

I resolved the issue. Turns out it was an issue with my proxy setting that would not allow me to access the images.

For R2016b, in +landsat8/SceneListReader.m :
change readtable call to:
t = readtable(unzipfilename, 'Delimiter', ',', 'DatetimeType', 'text');
An updated version will be submitted soon.

I am running R2016b and am receiving the same error as mentioned below (comment by Mohamed on 11 Jun 2015).

Has anyone been able to resolve this issue?

The Landsat8 Data Explorer App only runs on R2014b or later. It requires some of the newer features of that release. I had intended to provide an error message when using earlier versions, but there is a bug in the code when checking for that condition.

I'm running 2014a and am receiving the same error as mentioned below...

Thanks for the response. Also thank you for sharing this tool. It is indeed very useful.

Kelly Luetkemeyer

To answer the NDVI question, the DNs read from the TIFF file are not converted to reflectance before using the NDVI formula.

Mohammad Abouali

How are you calculating the NDVI? Are you converting the Digital Numbers (DNs) that you read from TIF to reflectance before using the NDVI formula?
