DESCRIPTION

       i.tasscap calculates Tasseled Cap (Kauth Thomas, TC) transformation  for  LANDSAT-TM  data
       (TM4, TM5, TM7).  The following TC components are generated:

                      tasscap.1: corresponds to brightness,

                      tasscap.2: corresponds to greenness,

                      tasscap.3: corresponds to wetness,

                      tasscap.4: corresponds to atmospheric haze.

EXAMPLE

       Calculation of TC maps from North Carolina Landsat scene:
       g.region rast=lsat7_2002_10 -p
       i.tasscap -7 band1=lsat7_2002_10 band2=lsat7_2002_20 \
                    band3=lsat7_2002_30 band4=lsat7_2002_40 \
                    band5=lsat7_2002_50 band7=lsat7_2002_70 \
                 outprefix=tasscap
        Results:

       |
       'Brightness' Tasseled Cap component 1 |
       'Greenness' Tasseled Cap component 2
       |
       'Wetness' Tasseled Cap component 3 |
       'Atmospheric haze' Tasseled Cap component 4
