Q1: What dialog box appears and what information does it contain?
Cursor Location/Value window popped up. It contains information such as Display Number
(loaded image display), mouse cursor location, screen value (RGB Color) and the pixel’s data value the
cursor.

Q2: What do you think accounts for the differences in the grayscale image?
The differences in the image were due to the properties of the objects and the different bands
used. The reflectivity of those objects varies depending on the wavelengths.

Q3: What do you think is the significance of using different color maps rather than just the default
grayscale image?
Color maps helps us highlight the objects in an area to be used for such applications like image
classification. Moreover, color mapping aids in the identification of features that otherwise cannot be
easily discerned.

Q4: What is the use of the animation tool in terms of image interpretation?
Animation tool is used to visually check and compare sets of images and see objects and
features that changed. It makes obvious the spatial occurrences of spectral differences.

Q5: What happens as you load different band combinations? What is the significance of changing the
RGB bands?
Loading the band combinations in different arrangement results to varying object colors in the
image. Changing the RGB bands increases spectral classification and enhances the interpretability of
data.

Q6: Resize one of the linked Main Image windows and describe what happens to the other. Does the
same thing happen when you resize the linked Scroll and the Zoom windows?
Resizing the main image window results to the resizing of the other linked image window with
the same dimensions. And same thing happens with the Scroll and Zoom windows.

Q7: What is the application of linking displays and dynamically overlaying images?
Linking displays aids in the navigation and comparison with respect to the area of interest within
two different images. That lets you focus on the same AOI and easily distinguish the difference/s.
Likewise, overlaying images provides the same but showing more detailed comparisons.

Q8: What are the uses of generating 2D scatter plots of multiband images?
It allows quick comparison of the pixel values in two spectral bands simultaneously.

Q9: What happens in the Scatter Plot, Main Image and Zoom windows after closing the polygon?
Within the scatter plot, after closing the polygon, the points/pixels inside it are highlighted. Also,
the pixels from the scatter plot corresponding to the pixels of the image in the main and zoom displays
are highlighted as well.
Q10: What happens to the image on the Main Image and Zoom windows? To where do we use these
ROI’s in image interpretation?
The pixels on the images on the Main Image and Zoom Windows [corresponding to the pixels on
the scatter plot] are also highlighted based from the color defined from created ROI. In terms of image
interpretation, ROIs are being commonly used for classification

Q11: Briefly describe the classified image (supervised parallelepiped) that you have produced. You
may try exploring the other types of classification. (Note: An additional requirement in this part is
specified at the last part of this exercise.)
The image was classified based from the selected ROI on the scatter plot. All the other
points/pixels outside the ROIs was classified into one (black).

Q12: What is the advantage of being able to load, overlay and edit vector files together with
multispectral images in ENVI’s interface?
It will greatly help in the analysis of the image specifically for image classification.
