• choosing some training sites as red polygon shapefiles in OpenEV
• extracting and displaying their bottom type signatures (see below: an automated process in 4SM)
• running the classification:
  • this reads the water-column corrected LB channels
  • works out the skewness (Blue/Green) and brightness of the spectral water-column corrected radiance for the current pixel
  • and compares it to the database of all available training site signatures using a tolerance CoefSIG
• settling for a value of CoefSIG
  • too high CoefSIG results in 0% of un-classified pixels and/or too few classes
  • too low CoefSIG results in too many classes and/or or too many un-classified pixels
• reducing the amount of un-classified pixels by adding more training sites
• running the classification again and again
• until satisfied that a reasonable series of bottom types describes the whole spectral content of the shallow bottoms

These water-column corrected results
(along with the water depths if desired)
are now available
for the final process of habitat mapping
using expert knowledge and ground-truth data.
