Application of the Tasseled Cap concept to simulated thematic mapper dataThematic Mapper signal counts in the six reflective bands (i.e., excluding the thermal band) are simulated using field and laboratory spectrometer measurements of a variety of crops, crop conditions, and soil types. The Dave atmospheric model and prelaunch sensor characteristics comprise the other components of the simulation. The simulated data are found to occupy essentially three dimensions, two of which are equivalent to the MSS Tasseled Cap Greennes and Brightness features, and a third which is substantially influenced by the mid-infrared bands of the TM. This new dimension is primarily related to soil characteristics, including soil moisture. The nature and characteristics of each dimension are discussed, as are some of the expected information gains (over MSS data) resulting from the additional dimensionality of the data.
