Variance-Covariance matrix

Algorithm

Variances and covariances are computed for M bands in the map list. The result is presented as a M x M covariance matrix.

The values of the covariance matrix are calculated according to the following formulae:

 

where:

xb

=

pixel values in map b.

N

=

the number of pixels which are not undefined.

and

 

where:

xb1

=

pixel values in map b1.

xb2

=

pixel values in map b2.

N

=

the number of pixels which are not undefined.
