TERRAIN CLASSIFICATION USING COLOR IMAGERY
Algorithms have been developed to permit classification of metal, soil, pavement, cultivated fields, and vegetation elements form standard color film imagery. The analyses are significant because the algorithms are independent of sensor and atmospheric conditions. The algorithms thus remove the necessity for a new training data set for each data collection mission. Terrain classification from the algorithms was accomplished to 97 percent accuracy using imagery at scales as small as 1:100,000 taken from altitudes in excess of 50,000 feet.
