> Pictorial representation of spectral response in digital
format in terms of DN value.
> Combination of row and column corresponding to pixels.
> The value of DN in an image varies from 0 to Highest
value depending upon the size of data in binary system
(bit).
> E.g. 0 to 255 for 8 bit data.
> 0= lowest intensity & 255= highest intensitv Advantages of digital Data
> Better data quality
> Compute language format hence suitable for digital
processing.
> Easy to maintain the data- no loss during
reproduction and transfer
> Easy to handle: store, retrieval, reproduction.
> Easy to transform & compatible to software.
> Effective Presentation: Maps/Graphs/Charts etc. > What it means & why it required ?
> Means: Apply certain operation and commands on
data.
> Why: so that data can be more attractive and easy to
interpret.
> Major Group of functions includes
* Pre-processing
* Enhancement
* transformation
* Classification > This group include commands and operations that performed
before the main data analysis.
2 Major operations includes
> Radiometric Corrections:
for variation in scene illumination conecd
due to atmospheric and weather conditions '™ + -
> Geometric Corrections: :
for geometry variation due to shape of Eartl Gags 22"
> It also include image restoration and rectification.
> Depends upon the specifications of sensor & platforms. Image Enhancement
eration to make appearance of image or some partict
tures in the image.
‘better interpretation & analysis.
‘tant functions are:
ntrast Stretching: increase in tonal contrast
atial filtering: Increase or decrease the specific spatial
tern. > Common operation for multiband & Multi temporal data
> Certain arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division) are performed.
> Itinvolve the combination or transformation of old data/bands in
new data set so that results in to better display or highlight of
certain features.
> the arithmetic operations depend upon the requirements or
purpose.
> E.g. Subtraction for change detection b/w 2 dates.
> Division (band ratoing) Same features in different bands.
> Principal Component Analysis ?
> TM (7 bands) to 3 Principal bands for 90% information oe EO
Image Source: REMOTE SENSING TUTORIAL by (Canada Centre for Remote Sensing) > Grouping of features into characteristic class
> Different approach for visual and Digital Interpretation:
Information class and Spectral class
> Supervised & Unsupervised classification ?
> Supervised classification is good choice when analyst is
familiar with area & feature and focusing on limited no. of
classes.
> Unsupervised otherwise: no. of subclasses ?
