Image Space (Spatial + Spectral) Multi-spectral Image Space 2D spatial + multi-D spectral information DN(x,y) = (DN1(x,y), DN2(x,y), … DNn(x,y)) Here, we only concern “spectral space” Multi-dimensional, Multi-spectral vectors N-dimensions = N-bands Spectral Transformation (Ratios, NDVI, PCT, Contrast enhancement…) Spatial Transformation (filters, FFT… will be discussed later) Various feature space , which is useful for thematic classification, can be derived from the spectral space.

Feature Space A general, linear matrix transformation of the spectral vector W: a transformation matrix (rotation, scaling, …) A general, nonlinear transformation

DN values DN values in band k is approximately a linear function of earth surface reflectance (Lambertian Surface): : radiometric gain (sensor) : radiometric offset (sensor) : incidence angle (topography) : surface reflectance (target)

Multispectral Ratios A non-linear transformation. One of the earliest feature extraction technique. Bias-corrected: topographic effect (cosine term) disappear. Fully-calibrated: Modulation ratio: normalized to [-1, 1]

Vegetation Indices Ratio Vegetation Index(RVI) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): poor when the ground cover is low, as in arid and semi-arid region. Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI): good for low land-cover environment Transformed Vegetation Index (TVI) Perpendicular Vegetation Index (PVI): distance to the soil line. Tasseled Cap Transform

Spectral Redundancy Spectral redundancy (waste of money) occurs if the correlation between spectral bands are high: Material spectral correlation Topographic shading Sensor bands overlap Principle Component Transformation (PCT) is a feature space transformation designed to remove the spectral redundancy

Principle Component Transformation PCT is a rotation in K-D of the original coordinate axes to coincide with the major axes of the data. PC axes are orthogonal, but it may not look orthogonal in 2-D scattergram. It optimally redistributes the total image variance in the transformed data. The first PC image contains the maximum possible variance for any linear combination of the original bans. PC images are uncorrelated with each other. The total image variance is preserved. You can diagonalize the covariance matrix since it is symmetric. You need to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the covariance matrix. Each eigenvalue is equal to the variance of the respective PC image along the new coordinate axes. The sum of all the eigenvalues must equal the sum of all the band variances of the original image, thus preserving the total variance in the data. PC compress most of the total image variance into fewer dimensions.

Color Decorrelation Stretch using PCT If spectral correlation of the three bands are high, then the color lies along a line in the color cube, and very little of the available color space is utilized. RGB -> PCT -> stretch (equalize variances) -> Inverse PCT to RGB
