To facilitate the simplification, visualisation and communicability of satellite imagery classifications, this study applied visual analytics to validate a colourimetric approach via direct scalable measurement hue angle from enhanced false colour band ratio RGB composites. A holistic analysis landscape was formalised by creating applying an ontological image interpretation key ecological-colou...
