Tasseled Cap (TC) transformation is a method used in remote sensing to transform multi-spectral data into a new set of bands that are more interpretable and useful for specific applications like vegetation analysis, soil studies, and urban analysis. ArcGIS Pro can perform Tasseled Cap transformations using raster calculator functions and tools available in the software.
To estimate Tasseled Cap transformation in ArcGIS Pro, you can follow these steps:
Acquire Data: Ensure you have the multi-spectral data (e.g., Landsat imagery) that you want to apply the Tasseled Cap transformation to.
Prepare Bands: Import the necessary bands into ArcGIS Pro. The specific bands needed depend on the type of Tasseled Cap transformation you are performing (e.g., Landsat 5, 7, or 8).
Apply Transformation: Use the Raster Calculator or a specific Tasseled Cap tool if available to apply the transformation coefficients.
