Abstract
In the most general terms, a digital image is an array of numbers depicting spatial distribution of a certain field or parameter. It is a digital representation in the form of rows and columns, where each number in the array represents the relative value of the parameter at that point/over the unit area (Fig. 10.1). The parameter could be reflectivity of EM radiation, emissivity, temperature, or a parameter such as topographical elevation, geomagnetic field or even any other computed parameter. In this chapter, we deal with remote sensing multispectral images.
