Week 4: Remote Sensing - Classification

Attached are two maps of the Germantown, MD images after recoding and reclassification from an original image provided by Ms. Trisha Holtzclaw. Histogram values that resulted from the reclassification step are included in the images' legends.





Below is an explanation of the reason that there are two submitted maps. One presents the appropriate RGB 5,4,3 color code...the other shows the classes grouped based on similarity (i.e. all urban/residential grouped as one)...however, the colors were manually altered because the RGB 5,4,3 was not informative and did not distinguish dissimilar land characteristics.
