how do i download landsat 8 directly from WMS link in Matlab?

I am trying to download landsat 8 from URL "The following URL can be copied to your GIS software package or mapping tool to access the data. The WMS link will only be available for two weeks". I used wmsread function also but it didnot work. If I used geotiffread to read individual tiff files, it read but when i stacked them, it says out of memory. I Know other tools directly download from the url. Could anyone helped me?

I really appreciate your help.

Hi Sonisa,

'wmsread' function should be able to access the URL and retrieve the WMS data. What issue are you facing with it? Can you elaborate more.

The link below describes common errors with WMS servers and their workarounds:

The landsat 8 data is also available at Amazon Web Service and there is a tool on MATLAB File Exchange that allows you to select, access, process, and visualize Landsat 8 scenes. The link below contains a video tutorial for the tool:

File exchange submission for the tool can be found at:

Thanks a bunch Mayank. My desktop keep on telling me out of memory. So I was looking for function which directly read files from server so that I do not have to store data on my hard drive. The link you sent to me looks amazing and I will dig on that.

Thanks again.
