Question No.1
(a) How Multiband image data is stored? (Illustrate with example).
(b) In your opinion which is the ideal format. Give logical justification.
Answer: (a)
Multiband data in remote sensing imagery, a band would be considered discrete ranges
of wavelengths sampled by the system. Combination of spatial position such as lines number
,band number, pixel number. As we know that the wavelength is the mean distance maxima or
minima of periodic pattern. Multiband image data consist of just three bands red, green, and
blue. These colors falls in the visible wavelength spectrum between 0.7 µm to 0.4 µm .The pixel
brightened of each band when composites make the colors see in an image.
Multiband image data stored in band interleaved by line (BIL), band interleaved by pixel (BIP),
and band sequential (BSQ) are three common methods of organizing image data for multiband
images. BIL, BIP, and BSQ are not in themselves image formats but are schemes for storing the
actual pixel values of an image in a file.
Band interleaved by line (BIL), line that arranged in order of band number. This format
compromises between spatial and spectral processing. Good for images with 20-60 bands.
band interleaved by pixel (BIP), in which with respect to each pixels arranged spatially by pixel
number and line number. This format provides optimum performance for spectral (z) access of
the image data. Good for hyperspectral images.
Band sequential Format (BSQ) in which image data of each band are arranged separately. This
format optimal for spatial (X,Y) access of any part of a single spectral band. Good for
multispectral images.
These are three common methods of organizing image data for multiband images. BIL, BIP, and
BSQ are not in themselves image formats but are schemes for storing the actual pixel values of
an image in a file. These files support the display of single and multiband images true color, and
multispectral image data. When we create a map layer from a raster image, choose to display a
single band of data or a color composite from multiple bands. Combination of any three of the
available bands in a multiband raster dataset can be used to create RGB composite.
