Abstract
In an attempt to alleviate the classification problems introduced by the higher spatial resolution of the Thematic Mapper in comparison to the Muitispectral Scanner, classifications were performed on two to six band combinations, first using Thematic Mapper bands only, and subsequently replacing band 5 by its mean-filtered and median-filtered counterpart. The combination of filtered data with non-filtered data smooths out scene noise while retaining some of the boundary detail.Keywords
