EVALUATION OF LAND USE AND ITS COLOR REPRESENTATION IN TOKYO DISTRICTS WITH LANDSAT DIGITAL DATA
Remotely sensed data should be classified into categories which represent the real status of land use or land cover at the time of flight. As it is now appropriate to assign a pixel of unresolved remotely sensed data to a name of land use, a new criterion for classification of real status of land use must be established. In this study, land use is assumed to be composed of a mixture of three primary components, water, vegetation and nonorganic matter (bare soil, rock, sand, concrete, asphalt and so on). Three components can be evaluated by the remotely sensed data because of their unique spectral characteristics. Three primary components, water, vegetation and nonorganic matter are corresponded to three primary colors, blue, green and red respectively. Real status of land use or land cover with a mixture of water, vegetation and nonorganic matter will be represented in a mixture of three primary colors which are related to land use.
