Spectral feature design for data compression in high dimensional multispectral dataData transmission loads of high dimensional remote sensor systems can be greatly reduced by applying generalized Karhunen-Loeve transform as a feature design technique. Two spectral feature design approaches based upon the generalized K-L transform are developed to compress information effectively. Six sets of field data from Kansas and North Dakota on three different dates each are used to test the methods. Spatially, temporally and spatially/temporally combined data sets are formed in this paper to test the robustness property of the schemes. The probability of correct classification using Landsat MSS, Thematic Mapper bands and the proposed bands are found and compared. The comparison shows that the results are improved by the proposed methods, and they appear to be satisfactorily robust. The overall data compression ratio in this paper is about 100/16, i.e., about 6 to 1 with no loss in classification accuracy.
