Date Issued:
1998
Summary:
Digital orthophoto quadrangle quarter (DOQQ) is a new type of imagery. The DOQQ is a product of the United States Geological Survey, which has many uses. The spectral and spatial qualities of a DOQQ are equal to and surpass the qualities of traditional satellite imagery. These qualities can be demonstrated by answering the following questions: (1) Is the quality of the spectral information on a color infrared DOQQ comparable to a SPOT and TM Landsat satellite imagery for the purpose of digital image classification? (2) What are the optimal number of classes for achieving an accuracy supervised classification of a one-meter resolution DOQQ? (3) What is the effect of changing the spatial resolution on image classification of a DOQQ?
