R G B TCC
• False Color Composite (FCC)
– Any combination of bands and filters
Color Image Processing
• RGB
Components
• Color Image:
– TCC (True
color composite)
– FCC (False
color composite)
Color Image Processing
• Color image
processing can
also be done on
individual
components
(Ex. Effect of
Noise)
Image Components/Bands
B R
G I
Color: True and False
• TCC
– BGR bands to BGR filters
• FCC
– GRI bands to BGR filters
Optical vs Infrared Images
• Band variation
– Optical band is limited
– Infrared is lagrer
– NIR, SWIR, FIR
• Sensitivity towards
vegetation
– IR can detect artificial
turf
Color Image Processing
• Color images are
composed of 24 bits
• They occupy more
memory space
• Image compression
techniques are needed
Ex. JPEG compression
Multiband Images
• As an extension of color images, the images of
multiple bands can also be generated
• FCC
(green,
red, NIR)
Hyperspectral Images
• Hyperspectral Imaging
involves collecting data
in numerous, narrow
and contiguous spectral
bands
• There are hundreds of
bands in an image
Multiband Images: Processing
• Multiband image processing requires analysis
techniques to find useful bands (Ex. PCA)
– Image Segmentation
– Image Classification
– Image Texture Analysis
Visual Interpretation
• Basic Elements
• Tone
• Texture
Ground Data
• Ground data for the reference (Ancillary
data/ground truth)
• Agricultural applications
• Forestry applications
• Rangeland applications
LULC Applications (contd.)
• Water resource applications
• Wetland applications
