NAME
i.pca - Principal components analysis (pca) program for image processing.
KEYWORDS
imagery
SYNOPSIS
i.pca
i.pca help
i.pca input=name[,name,...] output=name [rescale=min,max] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- input=name[,name,...]
- Name of input raster map(s)
- output=name
- Name for output raster map
- rescale=min,max
- Rescaling range output (For no rescaling use 0,0)
- Default: 0,255
DESCRIPTION
i.pca is an image processing program based on the
algorithm provided by Vali (1990), that processes n (2
>= n) input raster map layers and produces n output
raster map layers containing the principal components of
the input data in decreasing order of variance
("contrast"). The output raster map layers are assigned
names with .1, .2, ... .n suffixes. The current geographic
region definition and mask settings are respected when
reading the input raster map layers. When the rescale
option is used, the output files are rescaled to fit the
min,max range.
OPTIONS
Parameters:
- input=name,name[,name,name,...]
- Name of two or more input raster map layers.
- output=name
- The output raster map layer name to which suffixes are
added. Each output raster map layer is assigned this
user-specified name with a numerical (.1, .2, ...
.n) suffix.
- rescale=min,max
- The optional output category range. (Default: 0,255) If
rescale=0,0, no rescaling is performed on output files.
- If output is rescaled, the output raster will be of type CELL. If
the output is not rescaled, the output raster will be of type DCELL.
NOTES
Richards (1986) gives a good example of the application of principal
components analysis (pca) to a time series of LANDSAT images of a burned
region in Australia.
