Morphological change of a scene employing synthetic multispectral and panchromatic images

Abstract

Climate change has produced transformations in the coastal zone of Tamaulipas State. Such changes include modifications to coastline and transformations to texture-relief and texture of the zone. In this work, high resolution panchromatic SPOT images have been employed to quantify such modifications. A synthetic multispectral image is used to validate our results. To quantify the texture-relief and texture, the multi-spectral image is modeled as a vector field of as many dimensions as bands of the image. Upon this field, the vector operators divergence and laplacian are applied. Results are presented for an area of Tampico-Altamira, details of the methodology are shown and results are discussed.
