Table 25: Rough pasture sample values<br />
As mentioned above; it could be possible to obtain similar values to rough pasture<br />
in a spectral analysis of mixed forestry or certain urban developments. This,<br />
however, does not present a problem for the potential image key as both those<br />
areas can be eliminated from an automatic survey due to the fact that both mixed<br />
forestry and areas containing buildings and dwellings can be identified by<br />
previously captured attributes. In terms of the spectral values for the image as a<br />
whole the red band was 35% lower, the green 17% lower and blue 7% lower<br />
across the samples. While this alone does not give complete indication of rough<br />
pasture, when coupled with high levels of standard deviation in the red and green<br />
colour bands the probability of this type of land cover is high. When coupled with<br />
an additional vetting process (eliminating known land cover types), it should be<br />
possible to identify rough pasture using lower red and green colour band values<br />
with high standard deviation.<br />
