}The aim of this study is to examine spatio-temporal patterns over Lahore during 20002015 using tasselled cap transformation (TCT) technique, to extract information about urban vegetation and underlying bare soil in a highly-urbanized area. The focus is to validate T-cap components against normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and bare soil index (BI) in order to develop a range for T-cap on a scale of 0-1 for classification of landcover, that is linked with physical characteristics of…
