TEXTUREMOD : Graphical interfaces
Processing initialization

The Matlab® command 'texturemod' makes appear the first interface named 'TEXTUREMOD INTERFACE'. It is dedicated to both 1) initialize the processing and 2) to perform 2-D Fourier transform. Adding new button objects for integrating new sites or image types is easy to implement, provided that basic rules for coding site names and images are correctly followed.


1) Analysis is automatically proposed on study sites for which image data and forest parameters are available. Selecting buttons mentioning  'Mangroves, all sites' will involve pooled processing of data available on both Kaw, and Sinnamary sites. Buttons referring to image sensors available on the selected study sites are then indicated as enabled. Within a run, selection of multiple image types is possible but processing is allowed only for data of identical pixel size. Spectra tables and principal component analysis are computed. Relevant variables and results are stored into hard disk files which have coding names allowing to identify study site, sensor and Fourier configuration.

2)  Radiobutton for selecting size of square windows for Fourier transform is then activated. After selection of size between 19 and 201 pixels, maximum frequency sampling is proposed up to the Nyquist frequency. In addition a moving window processing can be achieved (it is time consuming). These 3 factors are also used to identify and a-posteriori use all results stored on hard disk.

Result analysis


Once the FOTO processing is ended and results are stored, the Matlab® command 'results' makes appear the second interface named 'FOTO results'. It is dedicated to 1) a cluster analysis of PC scores (not shown hereafter), 2) the production of FOTO maps (in ERMapper® format), 3) selecting which forest parameter has to be plot versus PC scores and 4) a stepwise analysis that could combine the three first PC axes. An inversion model is then proposed (Figure 1) to produce forest parameters maps at last.
