NAME
i.pca - Principal components analysis (pca)
program for image processing.
(GRASS Image Processing Program)
SYNOPSIS
i.pca
i.pca help
i.pca input=name,name[,name,name,...]
output=name rescale=min,max
DESCRIPTION
i.pca is an image processing program based on the
algorithm provided by Vali (1990), that processes n (2
>= n) input raster map layers and produces n output
raster map layers containing the principal components of
the input data in decreasing order of variance
("contrast"). The output raster map layers are assigned
names with .1, .2, ... .n suffixes. The current geographic
region definition and mask settings are respected when
reading the input raster map layers. When the rescale
option is used, the output files are rescaled to fit the
min,max range.
OPTIONS
Parameters:
- input=name,name[,name,name,...]
- Name of two or more input raster map layers.
- output=name
- The output raster map layer name to which suffixes are
added. Each output raster map layer is assigned this
user-specified name with a numerical (.1, .2, ...
.n) suffix.
- rescale=min,max
- The optional output category range. (Default: 1,255) If
rescale=0,0, no rescaling is performed on output files.
NOTES
Richards (1986) gives a good example of the application of principal
components analysis (pca) to a time series of LANDSAT images of a burned
region in Australia.
