shows the transformation coefficients for Landsat 8 at-satellite reflectance
data. These coefficients are very close to the coefficients of the dummy target image
created through TM-based TCT coefficients. From Table 2, it is evident that Brightness has all positive loadings. It means that all six bands contribute for its overall value with
bands 4 (Red), 5 (NIR) and 6 (SWIR1) as maximum contribution. Regions of high
vegetation are found at low Red and higher NIR regions and here (Table 2) both have
higher values of loadings, so any increase in vegetation density will cause less substantial
changes in Brightness. It indicates that this feature will be responsive to soil characteristics
including its albedo instead of vegetation
