Abstract

In remote sensing is the concept of spectral signature in multispectral imagery to recognize different land uses in the area; This study proposes the existence of a characteristic variogram for land use in multispectral images. To test this idea we proceeded to work with a sector of a scene image of multispectral Landsat 7 ETM +, in 6 of their bands (1- 450nm to 520nm, 2 - 520nm to 600nm, 3 - 630nm to 690nm, 4 - 760nm to 900nm 5 - over 1550nm to 1.750nm and 7 - 2.080nm to 2.350nm), corresponding to two uses of urban land and agricultural, the omnidirectional variogram for each band was analyzed and modal variogram for each land use was established in the stripe set. Of the analyzed claims data for each land use is a model characteristic and modal cross variogram how their wavelengths.
