values. This is because sensor data in a single image rarely extend
over the entire range of possible values.
-Evaluation of the different bands
-=================================
+<p>The peak values of the histograms represent the the spectral
+sensitivity values that occure the most often with in the image band
+being analysed.
+
+<h2>Evaluation of the different bands</h2>
-band 1, blue (0.45-0.52 um)
----------------------------
+<h3>band 1, blue (0.45-0.52 micrometer - um)</h3>
Visible light, and will display a broad range of values both over
land and water. Reflected from ice, as those are visible white and
30 and 136. Mean values of 66.0668. There are one wide peak with
center around 50. There are two peaks at 0 and 255.
-band 2, green (0.52-0.60 um)
-----------------------------
+<h3>band 2, green (0.52-0.60 um)</h3>
Visible light, and will display a broad range of values both over
land and water. Reflected from ice, as those are visible white and
to 120. The mean value is 30.9774. There are two main peaks at 20
and 27. There is also a pie at 0.
-band 3, red (0.60-0.69 um)
---------------------------
+<h3>band 3, red (0.60-0.69 um)</h3>
Visible light, and will display a broad range of values both over
land and water. Reflected from ice, as those are visible white and
t 135, with one wide peak around 52. There are also seem to be two
peaks at 0 and 255. The mean value is 34.3403.
-band 4, near-infraread (0.76-0.90 um)
--------------------------------------
+<h3>band 4, near-infraread (0.76-0.90 um)</h3>
+<img align="right" width="20%" src="jotunheimen-band4-hist.jpeg">
Water acts as an absorbing body so in the near infrared spectrum,
water features will appear dark or black meaning that all near
show most values between 7 and 110. The mean is 40.1144. There are
two peaks at 7 and 40.
-band 5, mid-infrared (1.55-1.75 um)
------------------------------------
+<h3>band 5, mid-infrared (1.55-1.75 um)</h3>
The ice, glaciers and water do not reflect any mid-infrared light.
The histogram show most values between 1 and 178. The mean is
49.8098 and there are two peaks at 6 and 78, in addition to two
peaks at 0 and 255.
-band 6, thermal infrared (10.4-12.5 um)
----------------------------------------
+<h3>band 6, thermal infrared (10.4-12.5 um)</h3>
Display the temperature on earth. We can for example see that the
ice is colder than the surrounding areas. The histogram show most
values between 36 to 122. The mean is 102.734. There are one wide
peak around 53, in addition to two peaks at 0 and 255.
-band 7, mid-infrared (2.08-2.35 um)
-------------------------------------
+<h3>band 7, mid-infrared (2.08-2.35 um)</h3>
The ice, glaciers and water do not reflect any mid-infrared
frequencies. The histogram show most values between 77 and 150.
The mean is 24.04, and there are one wide peak at 130 and a smaller
peak at 83, in addition to one peak at 0.
-Image enhancement
------------------
+<h3>Image enhancement</h3>
We can get a good contrast stretch by using the histogram
equalisation. This will give us the widest range of visible
separation between features.

-Filtering and image sharpening

spatial resolution while the others have 30m spatial resolution.

We tried a gradient filter using this 3x3 matrix: [ 1 2 -1 / 2 0 -2 /

same result was that the fact that the spatial resolution of the
thermal band is actually 4x4 pixels. Because of this, we tried with a
5x5 matrix, making sure it sums up to 0.
