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 />

⎣ ⎝ ⎠ ⎦<br />
n − n<br />
f 0 −1<br />
k − b<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.
