There is one ambiguity, however, since both GGG and PPH add up
to PAR. This problem is easily overcome by changing the
assignment of the pixel values in one of the files from 1, 2
and 4 to say 1. 4 and 18, The arithmetic combiantions now
yield the values shown in brackets and no more ambiguity
exists.
Theme Classification
It is possible to subject the three files to a classification
process in the same manner as image files are. The result
indicates not only the presence or absence of a particular crop
in a field for the three year period, but also provides this
information in a year specifio way. For example PPG, PGP and
GPP can be separated although each has some value in the
arithmetic operation tvoe overlay. This method provides the
most sophisticated digital information processing,
CONCLIISTON
Standard digital image analysis algorithms can be utilized
successfullv for further processing and analysing the
information generated hy the classification of digital image
data. Therefore, dicital image analvsis systems can be
utilized as simple land resource information systems.
