Image Classification
Objective is to automatically categorized all
pixels in an image into land cover classes;
Classification normally performed with
multispectral data;
Different features have different combination of
DNs based on their spectral reflectance or
emittance properties;
The DNs are used as a numerical basis for
classification;
Pattern is discerned from the set of radiance
measurement obtained in the various
wavelength bands;

Digital image classification uses the spectral information
represented by the digital numbers in one or more spectral
bands (A), and attempts to classify each individual pixel based
on this spectral information (B).
