    Forest vegetation information of multispectral image from space and it's false color display tradeoff


      The eigenvector tp from the basis of a space in which the covariance matrix is diagonal therefore the principal components are uncorrelated.

      The means and various of six Tm bands (expect the thermal infrared band 6) of Dawopu image window Pinquan county are shown in table 2.

      The table 2 shows that larger variance appear in three reflectance infrared bands of TM than is visible bands and the most abundant information is given in TM5 band.

      Table 2: means and variances of TM digital image (expect band 6)
      Dawopu image window Pingquan county
      Channel Wavelength (um) Mean Variance
      1 0.42-0.52 60.252 41.226
      2 0.52-0.60 26.578 26.436
      3 0.63-0.69 24.592 74.716
      4 0.76-0.90 78.801 283.478
      5 1.55-1.75 71.921 416.664
      6 2.08-2.35 25.107 114.679

      The eigenvalues the percentage variances and the cumulative percentage age variances are calculated and shown in table 3.

      Eigenvalues 691.098 234.514 18.187 7.658 2.872 1.904
      Percent variance 0.772 0.245 0.019 0.0008 0.003 0.002
      Cumulative percent variance 0.772 0.967 0.986 0.994 0.997 0.99

      The first principal component image contains 77.2 percent of the original data variances the first three principal component images contain 98.6 of K-L transform and contain obvious physical shown in color plate 3 there is very abundant vegetation information in color plate 3 that almost is a fine vegetation distribution map.

      The interpretation results on vegetation from color plate 3 are shown in table 4.

      Grass green birch forest.


    1. Trade-off in false-color composite of the rationing images.
      Pingquan county is located in high mountain region with heavy shadows that hinder the interpretation of vegetation We need to develop a technique to remove the shadows and extract the vegetation information.

      According to the concept of the optimum index factor (OIF),


      Eq.

      Where si standard deviation of rationing image for order i, | R | is the absolute value of correlation coefficient for color order j. By random test we get the rationing image subset [TM/TM3,TM3/TM2,TM2/TM1] whose OIF value is the maximized and make false-color display for this rationing image subset (appropriate color red , green, blue )in which the mountain shadows were removed and the land cover information was extracted successfully in order to compare the effects between the false color composition of rationing image (TM4/TM3,red,TM3/TM2) green TM2/TM1blue and original image we also given the false color composition of original images ( TM5,red, TM3, Green, TM2 , blue) which are shown in color plate 4.
