APPENDIX II<br />

The following r<strong>at</strong>ing, have been used to process the<br />

s<strong>at</strong>ellite images of the Ba River Delta area. They are based on<br />

equ<strong>at</strong>ions involving the wave length bands scanned by the<br />

s<strong>at</strong>ellite sensors.<br />

BANDS! SPOT ! LANDSAT"<br />

! !<br />

Green band! XS1 = 500/590 nm ! BAND 5 = 500/600 nm<br />

Red band! XS2 = 610/ 690 nm! BAND 6 = 600/700 nm<br />

I.R band! XS3 = 700/890 nm ! BAND 7 = 700/800 nm<br />

1. CHROMATIC RATING<br />

This algorithm is upgrading sediment inform<strong>at</strong>ion in shallow<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er.<br />

If A and B are the peak limits of the histogrammes of the 3<br />

bands, the chrom<strong>at</strong>ic r<strong>at</strong>ing is equal to : rXS2/XS1+XS21,<br />

between A, B.<br />

2. VEGETATION RATING<br />

This algorithm makes it easier to differenti<strong>at</strong>e the<br />

veget<strong>at</strong>ion from the bare soils. It is equal to : rXS3-<br />

XS2/XS3+XS21
