Write-Up

Band Correlation

The bands least correlated with each other are 1,4, and 6. While bands 1,2 and 4 have the lowest

correlations with band 6, bands 1 and 2 are too highly correlated between themselves. Hence, I chose

the band with the lowest correlation with band 4. Band 1 had a lower correlation with band 4 than did

band 2, hence I chose band 1.

Shadow Question

Some features appear to cast a shadow. For example, in the Santa Monica Mountains, ridgelines cast an

east-facing shadow. Also, in the San Fernando Valley, roads seems to cast a omni-directional shadow.

Futher up northwest, the mountainous dry-green vegetation interface seems to be accentuated by

shadows.

Land Cover Question

The maximum image has more detailed information about land cover. While the minimum image has

relevant data, its features are partially distorted and the representations are moderately mismatched.

The maximum, on the other hand, seems much more like the original image with appears very similar to

the reference.
