Answer»

It is a graph showing the number of pixels in an image at each different intensity value.

What is image classification? Differentiate between the two methods of image classification.

Answer»

A process to categorize all pixels in a digital image into one or several land cover classes or themes.

Based on DN values we can create the classes like vegetation, water body, barren land, build up area etc. 

Differentiate between Supervised and unsupervised classification (three distinctions)

Supervised classificationUnsupervised classification
a) The analyst recognizes classes in any image based on prior knowledge. These are known as training sites.a) Spectral classes are grouped first based on the numerical information in the data. It does not utilize training data.
