DESCRIPTION

i.landsat.dehaze applies a bandwise haze correction using tasscap4 (haze) and linear regression.

NOTES

The regression based technique which determines a 'best fit' line for multispectral plots of pixels within homogenous cover types. The slope of the plot is proportional to the ratio of the reflective material (Crippen 1987).

EXAMPLE

# preparation of Tasseled Cap "haze" map
i.tasscap -7 band1=tm.10 band2=tm.20 band3=tm.30 band4=tm.40 \
             band5=tm.50 band7=tm.70 out=tasscap

# De-hazing
i.landsat.dehaze band1=tm.10 band2=tm.20 band3=tm.30 band4=tm.40 \
             band5=tm.50 band7=tm.70 tasscap4=tasscap.4 outprefix=dehaze

# color-balanced grey scales:
i.landsat.rgb blue=dehaze.1 green=dehaze.2 red=dehaze.3

# display as RGB composite
d.mon x0
d.rgb blue=dehaze.1 green=dehaze.2 red=dehaze.3
