The total Bhattacharyya distance is calculated using all N channels. The output of this subroutine is used to construct the B matrix using one or two Householder transformations. FORTRAN calling sequences are given.
A procedure for calculating a kxn rank k matrix B for data compression using the Bhattacharyya bound on the probability of error and an iterative construction using Householder transformation was developed. Two sets of remotely sensed agricultural data are used to demonstrate the application of the procedure. The results of the applications gave some indication of the extent to which the Bhattacharyya bound on the probability of error is affected by such transformations for multivariate normal populations.
