Lineage | Satellite images were processed for the Pacific Remote Island Areas using the method described in Mumby and Edwards (2000) and then, unsupervised classification was applied to derive Hard and Soft substrates. ENVI 5.3 (Harris Geospatial Solutions, Inc.) and ArcGIS 10.5.1 (Esri, Inc.) The lineage describes the general processing steps. The detailed steps and coefficients for each place are described in the readme file in the zip file. |
