AVIRIS Image Cube Statistics


The image below on the left shows the false colour rendering of the data file Lunar Lake. Each image cube is split into a number of scenes for delivery purposes. Here we see all the three scenes of the image. However we will be presenting statistics of the first scene (top 1/3 of the image on the left).

You cannot see JPEG Images !?

The figure on the left shows the correlation coefficients between the 224 bands. As can be seen, the bands in the range 155 to 165 have a low correlation coefficient ~ 0.1 to 0.6. The same is true for the bands in the range 108 to 112 where the correlation coefficients are around 0.4 to 0.7.  This means that predicting a band within this range from pervious bands will not be effictive.
Here we consider the correlation coefficients between the the 512 lines. As opposed to the previous scale where the range was [0.0 1.0], the range here is ~ [0.94 1.0] which means that there is significantly higher correlation from line to line than from band to band. On close observation we find that the plot exhibits an unusual texture: lines show higher correlation with the alternate lines as opposed to adjacent lines.
Column correlation coefficients are similar to the bands but only higher correlation since the scale is approx. [0.92 1.0].
