Notes on finding menu tools

The document provides instructions for using the Multispectral tab to analyze spectral profiles and create false color composites (FCC) from images. It details how to select contrasting regions, utilize the Spatial Profile tool, and generate scattergrams to explore spectral differences among land surface types. Additionally, it explains how to use the Signature Editor to examine relationships between selected spectral bands.

From the main menu, find the Multispectral tab, navigate to the Utilities group, and select Spectral

Profile. Alternatively, you can type Spectral Profile in the search bar found under the Help tab. Once
the dialogue box is open, use the spectral profile cross-hair tool to select contrasting bright and dark
area of the image to display, say, up to 5 different spectra from the different areas.

7. Examine the full spectra between 400 and 2500 nm to select contrasting regions that may be
better to display as false colour composites (FCC) in the viewer window. Note these regions down.
From the main menu, find the Multispectral tab, navigate to the Bands group, and then select a
band from each band drop down menu to try different FCC combinations. Note those which you
think are quite useful and which maximise the colour differences between different target types. (To
get you going, try 202, 115 and 93 in the R, G and B channels, respectively). Try natural (‘true’)
colour composites as well.

8. You can use the Spatial Profile tool to display the variation in spectra across a transect at different
locations and can scroll through the different spectral bands to view the variation spectrally. Under
the Multispectral tab, from the Utilities group, select Spectral Profile, then Spatial Profile. A
message will appear, ignore by clicking OK to proceed to the Spatial Profile Viewer. You can also link
the graph using View / Link Chart to the viewer window to highlight variation and location in specific
features (the yellow cursor shows where in the transect peaks and troughs occur).

Exploration of Feature Spaces

10. For the different images, use scattergrams contrasting spectral bands from your colour choices
above to explore the spectral differences between different land surface types. To generate
scattergrams in Imagine locate the Raster tab, go to the Classification group, click on Supervised,
and then choose Feature Space Image to reveal the Create Feature Space Images dialogue box.

13. Explore the relationship between the different selected spectral bands in the image. From the
same Classification group mentioned in step 10, click on Supervised, and then select Signature
Editor. Alternatively, you can type Signature Editor in the search bar found under the Help tab. Once
the Signature Editor window is open, click on the Feature menu, select View, then Linked Cursers. In
the Linked Viewers dialogue box which results from that, separately link each scattergram viewer
you displayed to the image viewer (NB: All Feature Space Viewers does not work – so don’t check
it!).
