DESCRIPTION

50       i.tasscap calculates Tasseled Cap (Kauth Thomas, TC) transformation for
51       Landsat  TM data (TM4, TM5, ETM7), MODIS and Sentinel-2 data.  The tas‐
52       seled cap transformation is effectively a compression method to  reduce
53       multiple  spectral  data  into  a  few bands. The method was originally
54       developed for understanding important phenomena of crop development  in
55       spectral space (Kauth and Thomas, 1976).
56
57       Tasseled   cap   coefficients  for  Landsat  7  ETM+  are  at-satellite
58       reflectance values (C. Huang et  al.,  2001),  the  conversion  can  be
59       achieved with i.landsat.toar.
60
61       The following tasseled cap components are generated:
62
63           ·   tasscap.1: corresponds to brightness,
64
65           ·   tasscap.2: corresponds to greenness,
66
67           ·   tasscap.3: corresponds to wetness,
68
69           ·   tasscap.4:  corresponds to atmospheric haze (only selected sen‐
70               sors: Landsat 5,7,8).

EXAMPLE

73       Calculation of TC maps from North Carolina Landsat 7 ETM scene:
74       # See manual page of i.landsat.toar for pre-processing
75       g.region raster=lsat7_2002_toar.1 -p
76       i.tasscap sensor=landsat7_etm \
77         input=lsat7_2002_toar.1,lsat7_2002_toar.2,lsat7_2002_toar.3,lsat7_2002_toar.4,lsat7_2002_toar.5,lsat7_2002_toar.7 \
78         output=lsat7_2002_tasscap
79       Results:
80
81         ’Brightness’ Tasseled Cap component 1                       ’Greenness’ Tasseled Cap component 2
82
83         ’Wetness’ Tasseled Cap component 3                          ’Atmospheric haze’ Tasseled Cap component 4
