Image ratioing (division)<br />

• Ratioing tends to extract information that is uncorrelated from image to image.<br />

• Ideally, ratioing adjusts for differences in intensity while emphasizing color differences.<br />

• The output image gray value, k o , is given by:<br />

k 0 = ak 1 /k 2<br />

where: k 1 , k 2 = gray value for image 1 and image 2, respectively<br />

a = coefficient<br />

• Ratioing partitions measurement space into radial segments.<br />

• A simple ratio will partition the space into unequal radial segments which emanate from an<br />

origin at (0,0).<br />

• The implicit assumption is that (0,0) represents black (zero intensity) and that distance<br />

from (0,0) corresponds to an increase in intensity.<br />

Consider the assumption that:<br />

- (0,0) represents black (zero intensity) and that<br />

- distance from (0,0) corresponds to an increase in intensity.<br />

• In remote sensing imagery this is frequently not the case,<br />

largely due to atmospheric effects on the observed<br />

radiation. The true zero intensity point is usually offset in<br />

measurement space.<br />

• It would also be more effective to make the partitioning<br />

uniform<br />

A reasonable scaling is given by:<br />

⎡ ⎛ ⎞ ⎤<br />

min ⎥<br />

⎣ ⎝ ⎠ ⎦<br />

n − n<br />

f 0 −1<br />

k − b<br />

2 2<br />

k ' = tan<br />

−θ<br />

( θ −θ )<br />

⎢ ⎜ ⎟<br />

k −b<br />

max min 1 1<br />

where:<br />

q min = minimum angle<br />

q max = maximum angle<br />

n f = maximum gray value in output image (usually 255)<br />

n 0 = minimum gray value in output image (usually 0)<br />

b 1 , b 0 = offsets of the zero-intensity point in measurement space.
