Utility

result = cgTasseledCapCoeffs( [/ENVI] [, /ETM] [, /IMAGINE] [, /LS4] [, /LS5] [, /MSS] [, /QUICKBIRD] [, /TM])

This function returns tasseled cap coefficients from various sources to perform the tasseled cap transformation on appropriate (e.g. LandSat) images. The program requires that one of the keywords be set.

Keywords

ENVI in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap coeficients used by ENVI 4.8. These are reported (by ITTVIS) to be for LandSat-5 TM data, although others report these are in error for TM-5 data and really apply to TM-4 data. Reference: http://www.exelisvis.com/language/en-US/UserCommunity/UserForums/forumid/29/threadid/12985/scope/posts.aspx.

ETM in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap coeficients proposed by the USGS for LandSat-7 ETM+ images. Note that these values should be applied to reflectances. Reference: http://landcover.usgs.gov/pdf/tasseled.pdf.

IMAGINE in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap coeficients used by the ERDAS Imagine software for LandSat-5 data.

LS4 in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap coeficients reported by Crist, Laurin and Cicone for LandSat-4 imagery. Reference: http://www.ciesin.org/docs/005-419/005-419.html.

LS5 in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap coeficients reported by Crist, Laurin and Cicone for LandSat-5 imagery. Reference: http://www.ciesin.org/docs/005-419/005-419.html.

MSS in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap coeficients originally reported by R.J Kauth and G.S. Thomas for MSS LandSat imagery. Reference: http://web.pdx.edu/~jduh/courses/Archive/geog481w07/Students/Marcello_TasselledCap.pdf. Also: http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/tassel.htm.

QUICKBIRD in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap Graham-Schmidt coeficients reportedly used for Quickbird imagery. Reference: http://www.asprs.org/a/publications/proceedings/pecora16/Yarbrough_L.pdf

TM in optional type=boolean

Set this keyword to return the tasseled cap coeficients originally proposed for TM imagery by Kauth and Thomas. Reference: http://web.pdx.edu/~jduh/courses/Archive/geog481w07/Students/Marcello_TasselledCap.pdf. Also: http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/tassel.htm.

Examples
