Description:

The Tasseled Cap Transformation is a technique commonly used in land cover mapping or other classification projects. It takes the linear combination of satellite imagery bands and a specialized coefficient matrix to create a n-band image with the first 3 bands containing the majority of the useful information, similar to Principal Component Analysis. The first three bands created are generally held to represent Brightness, Greenness and Wetness. The coefficient matrix, which is unique to each imaging sensor, is based on image statistics and empirical observations.

This article provides the Spatial Model for transforming WorldView-2 (and WorldView-3) 8-band imagery to the Tasseled Cap image space using the coefficients described in

Input data should ideally have been corrected to Reflectance prior to input to this Spatial Model.

Hello Ian,

do you know, if tasseled cap transformation is possible for PlanetScope Imagery?

Thanks
