3. Reclassification of the land cover classification to emissivity values
Now we are going to reclassify the classification raster using the land surface emissivity values.
The emissivity (e) values for the land cover classes are provided in the following table (these values are only indicative, because they should be obtained from field survey):
Land surface
Emissivity e
Soil
0.93
Vegetation
0.98
Built-up
0.94
Water
0.98
