 How to enhance the multi-spectral data in Open_EV

You should now have an image looking something like the one below. The arrows indicate areas of potential archaeological significance

Site 5 after simple linear stretch

Now click on the histogram equalise button Open_EV histogram equalise button. The features in the bottom field are now much clearer, although the linear feature in the top field has become less visible.

Site 5 after equalisation

You can play around with the values that the non-linear equalisation has chosen by returning to the raster source dialogue (the one you used to change the band combinations). This allows you to manually use the sliders on each of the three bands to make more subtle enhancements to the image. To return to a non enhanced view of the data simply click on the revert to no enhancement button Open_EV revert to no enhancement button. We now want to move beyond the visible wavelengths.
