The Tasseled-Cap Transformation is a linear transformation method for various remote sensing data. Not only can it perform volume data compression, but it can also provide parameters associated with the physical characteristics, such as brightness, greenness and wetness indices.
tct(img, sat = "Landsat8OLI")
| img | It could be RasterStack or RasterBrick. |
|---|---|
| sat | Specify satellite and sensor type (Landsat5TM, Landsat7ETM or Landsat8OLI). |
Currently implemented for satellites such as Landsat-4 TM, Landsat-5 TM, Landsat-7 ETM+, Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel2. The input data must be in top of atmosphere reflectance (toa). Bands required as input must be ordered as:
| Type of Sensor | Name of bands |
| Landsat4TM | blue,green,red,nir,swir1,swir2 |
| Landsat5TM | blue,green,red,nir,swir1,swir2 |
| Landsat7ETM+ | blue,green,red,nir,swir1,swir2 |
| Landsat8OLI | blue,green,red,nir,swir1,swir2 |
| Landsat8OLI-Li2016 | coastal,blue,green,red,nir,swir1,swir2 |
| Sentinel2MSI | coastal,blue,green,red,nir-1,mir-1,mir-2 |
