Graphs of spectral signatures of water, soil and vegetation
Graphs of spectral signatures of water, soil and vegetation. Vegetation has a remarkably high reflection in the near infrared channel 4, and a low reflection in the visible red channel 3. This makes it possible to distinguish vegetation areas from bare ground. The difference of reflection in channels 3 and 4 is great for vegetation areas and insignificant for bare ground.

The spectral signatures
The spectral signatures are processed as digital values in the satellite scanner. Here is a hypothetical example of how the Landsat satellite might record water, green vegetation and bare ground.
