Statistical Analyses of Terrain Data.
Abstract
Data on various terrain backgrounds were collected and analyzed to present their statistical features. Some of those characteristics are described in the form of histograms, ellipse 'pictures,' and power spectra for the following infrared spectral bands: 2.0 - 2.6, 3.0 - 4.2, 3.5 - 3.9, 3.9 - 4.7, 4.5 - 5.5, 5.1 - 5.7, and 9.0 - 11.4 micrometers. An attempt is made to demonstrate various meteorological and other influences on the statistics by comparing the data in different spectral regions taken at different times and under differing conditions. Using these results and those from future analyses of other scenery, one would hope eventually to be able to categorize terrain backgrounds according to a few recognizable parameters.
