tasseledCap: Tasseled Cap Transformation

Description

Calculates brightness, greenness and wetness from multispectral imagery. Currently implemented Landsat 4 TM, Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 7ETM+, Landsat 8 OLI and MODIS.

Usage

tasseledCap(img, sat, ...)

Arguments

img

RasterBrick or RasterStack. Input image. Band order must correspond to sensor specifications (see Details and Examples)

sat

Character. Sensor; one of: c("Landsat4TM", "Landsat5TM", "Landsat7ETM", "Landsat8OLI", "MODIS"). Case is irrelevant.

...

Further arguments passed to writeRaster.

Value

Returns a RasterBrick with the thee bands: brigthness, greenness, and (soil) wetness.

Details

Currently implemented: Landsat 4 TM, Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 7ETM+, Landsat 8 OLI and MODIS. Input data must be in top of atmosphere reflectance. Bands must be available in the correct order and irrelevant bands, such as Landsat Thermal Bands must be removed. Required bands are:

sat	bands
coefficients	Landsat4TM
1,2,3,4,5,7	Crist 1985
Landsat5TM	1,2,3,4,5,7
Crist 1985	Landsat7ETM
1,2,3,4,5,7	Huang 2002
Landsat8OLI	2,3,4,5,6,7
Baig 2014	MODIS
1,2,3,4,5,6,7	Lobser 2007

Examples

library(raster)
data(lsat)

## Run tasseled cap (exclude thermal band 6)
lsat_tc <- tasseledCap(lsat[[c(1:5,7)]], sat = "Landsat5TM")
lsat_tc
plot(lsat_tc)
