distributed either side of a peak between 90 and 100 on the converted greyscale. The fact that these values mirror rough pasture closely mean that the marsh areas can only be classified once rough pasture values have been fully identified (towards the end of the third step in the algorithm). Figure 49: Blue colour band for marsh test 1 The second known marsh area selected (outlined below) to test the algorithm was taken from an area east of the first sample, which included some areas of tree cover (north east) and vegetation close to rough pasture (south): 123
Figure 50: Aerial view of marsh test 2 One of the advantages of using vector data which has already been controlled to cut the photography into a mosaic of polygons is the extent to which the set data points mirror detail that would be extremely difficult to identify using automatic methods (such as the outline of the drain, visible in the indent on the eastern edge of the above polygon). The values for this larger sample area, although it contained more tree cover that the first sample, remained consistent with all four samples with a gradual incline from shade values to the expected values for marsh in the red colour band (following page): 124
