A color composite (R=1, G=2, B=3) of the tasseled cap bands. TC 1: Brightness TC 2: Greenness TC 3: Wetness A color composite (R=1, G=2, B=3) of the tasseled cap bands. Blue corresponds to “wetness”, green to “greeness” and red to brightness. Water and fresh vegetation are depicted in a natural way. Light violet (almost white) corresponds to newly planted rice fields, violet corresponds to grown ones. A. Dermanis
