Table 20: Roof test sample value 1<br />
The first sample took an area of pasture close to a dwelling where the pasture gave<br />
expected values for the type of land cover (which is outlined in the pasture<br />
sampling in this section of the thesis). The roof sample showed a relatively high<br />
level of standard deviation across the colour bands (although low by roof value<br />
standards) and the mean colour values returned, although high for a small area,<br />
could not be used to uniquely identify other features. The double peak (of shade<br />
and light) in the red and green colour bands indicated that that the roof had a high<br />
pitch. One problem which makes using this type of surface difficult is the degree<br />
of reflection that can take place form the relatively smooth surface of roof<br />
covering – further distorting spectral values.<br />
