landsat 7 scan line error

The satellite carries the Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) sensor. The Earth observing instrument on Landsat 7, the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), replicates the capabilities of the highly successful Thematic Mapper instruments on Landsats 4 and 5.

These products have data gaps, but are still useful and maintain the same radiometric and geometric corrections as data collected prior to the SLC failure.See the Landsat 7 website for information about the SLC-off data products. On May 31st, 2003, the scan-line corrector (SLC) of Landsat 7 failed and since then, outputs from Landsat 7 have been described as ‘SLC-off’. The government-owned Landsat 7 was successfully launched on April 15, 1999, from the Western Test Range of Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on a Delta-II expendable launch vehicle. IDRISI manual suggests using reclass module but the description is very brief. Since June 2003, the sensor has acquired and delivered data with data gaps caused by the Scan Line Corrector (SLC) failure. I am currently working with Landsat 7 images for 2000 and have encountered scan line missing problems with bands 5 and 7. Landsat 7 ETM+ SLC-off data refers to all Landsat 7 images collected after May 31, 2003, when the Scan Line Corrector (SLC) failed. Landsat 1-6 no longer provide imagery, leaving just 7 and 8 capturing high quality multispectral images.

Landsat 7 was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on April 15, 1999 on a Delta II rocket. I need an advice as to how to resolve the scan lines drop out problem.
