Derivation of a tasselled cap transformation based on Landsat 7 at-satellite reflectance

Chong Huang, Bruce K. Wylie, Lin Yang, Collin G. Homer, G. Zylstra

Abstract

A new tasselled cap transformation based on Landsat 7 at-satellite reflectance was developed. This transformation is most appropriate for regional applications where atmospheric correction is not feasible. The brightness, greenness and wetness of the derived transformation collectively explained over 97% of the spectral variance of the individual scenes used in this study.
