  • Abstract
    In remote sensing applications principal components analysis (PCA) is usually performed by using the covariance matrix. However, the analysis of results, using different remote sensing sensor systems, showed a significant improvement in the signal to noise ratio (SNR) by using the correlation matrix in comparison to the covariance matrix. The paper reviews the studies and discusses the application of PCA for the analysis of anomalies and trends in long time series images
