description

We describe some applications of linear and nonlinear pro- jection methods in order to reduce the number of spectral bands in Land- sat multispectral images. The nonlinear method is curvilinear component analysis CCA, and we propose an adapted optimization of it for image processing, based on the use of principal-component analysis PCA, a linear method. The principle of CCA consists in reproducing the topol- ogy of the original space projection points in a reduced subspace, keep- ing the maximum of information. Our conclusions are: CCA is an im- provement for dimension reduction of multispectral images; CCA is really a nonlinear extension of PCA; CCA optimization through PCA called CCAinitPCA allows a reduction of the computation burden but provides a result identical to that of CCA. © 2006 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation
