摘要
Exploratory analysis of remotely-sensed data aims at acquiring insight as to the stability of possible classifications of these data and their information value for specific applications. For this purpose, knowledge of the uncertainties underlying these classifications is imperative. In this paper, we introduce various measures that summarise for a classification; in a single number per pixel, the distribution and extent of the uncertainties involved. Since exploratory analysis needs effective ways of conveying information to the user, we in addition address various ways of cartographic visualisation of uncertainty. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
