| 内容記述 | The thematic mapper (TM) on LANDSAT 4, acquires 6 spectral channels at 30 meter resolution as well as a thermal IR channel at 120 meter resolution. Because both MSS and TM can acquire data simultaneously, the advantages and disadvantages of the two instruments can be directly compared. The information content of the two instruments is compared for areas in a representative agricultural region. Although the parameter information does not equate in an obvious way to the value or utility of the data, it provides a basis for physical interpretation. By focusing on the redundancy of the digital data, the estimation of information content suggests possibilities for algorithms dealing with subsets of the image data, as well as transformations which reduce the total volume of data to be analyzed. To the degree that a satisfactory description by a reduced data set is possible, there exist implications both for design of future satellite instruments and for analysis procedures. |
