1. Geometric correction of an AVHRR imageThe aim of this lesson is to show the limitations of a linear transform applied to an Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) image, of the Mediterranean Sea. It demonstrates the need for a quadratic transform to achieve good rectification of the image and to demonstrate the influence of a poor GCP on the rectification process. |
|
2. Covariance and correlation matrices and interpreting PCA loadingsThis lesson introduces you to principal components analysis (PCA). It shows you how PCA is carried out, how the covariance or correlation matrices are calculated and how to calculate the eigenvalues and the percentage of total variance accounted for by each principal component. |
|
3. Advanced use of formulasThe aim of this lesson is to present some advanced uses of formula documents, including Boolean algebra, trigonometric functions, modular arithmetic, and x, y constructs (which allow you to refer to specific pixels in an image by their column (x) and row (y) coordinates). |
|
4. Simple GIS exercise using BilkoThe aim of this lesson is to show you how a stacked set of raster layers in Bilko can be manipulated as a simple Geographic Information System (GIS) using formula documents to perform the necessary operations. |
|
5. Applying geographical coordinate grids to imagesThis lesson teaches how to use formula documents to apply Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grids to colour composites of both terrestrial and coastal images such as would be useful for guiding field surveys. |
|
6. Opening binary flat files in BilkoThis lesson introduces image file formats and explains how to open a binary flat file exported from another package into Bilko. |
|
7. Using flag code imagesUsing MERIS level 1B data as an example, this lesson shows how to use the bit-wise operators of formula documents with “flag” coding information that is provided with some images. |
|
8. Vegetation indicesThis lesson introduces a range of two-band and three-band vegetation indices, explores how to use Bilko formula documents to implement these, and explains how libraries of generic formulae (in this case, for mapping vegetation) can be created. |
