Discrimination of natural targets according to their spectral features
Abstract
A method of discriminating natural targets on the basis of their spectral features is presented. The approach is based on the utilization of a priori information on the spectral characteristics of the desired class of targets and application of multivariable statistical, analysis techniques. Some results obtained by application of this method in the discrimination of forest tracts from satellite imagery are discussed.
