    Hello community. First please see this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/x2dC4nd.jpg What I am trying to do is to map road conditions. I am referencing this paper: http://www.geogr.uni-jena...pping_heroldetal.pdf As they mentioned in the paper (page 11/15), they have used the band ratio 830/490. It seems I have got a very similar result as they have. However, as you can see they somehow introduced a color coded legend for the roads (everything else like trees and houses is still black&white representing the reflectance) I assume they have used some sort of ROI's or mask where they just mapped the roads, then created the color coded legend by using the data values of the band ratio calculation. How can I proceed to receive a similar result? I would like to introduce colour based on the reflectance data for the roads. I actually have known very good roads (which in my image they have value around 1.1-1.3, some 1.5+ unfortunately) and known very bad roads (which value are in the 1.6-1.8's) Thank you

    You can try Raster Color Slices for defining ranges of values and specifying the desired color of the range.

    Thank you. Is there a way to apply it to the raster that is only the roads? Just like in the image I posted, I would like only for the road to be classified with the raster color slice

    You can make only one density slice if that is what you mean. Then you can use Overlay Classes to overlay the class on an RGB of your original image.

    Thank you. I ended up using masks and band math, as either I couldn't figure out how to use Overlay classes, or it was not what I was actually looking for. Managing to find a shapefile, I was able to just mask using that.

    Sorry for reiving an old thread. But I would like some more help using the Raster Color Slice. In my last project I used the Raster Color Slice to create something similar to the paper in my OP. I got the following result, which was pretty good. http://i.imgur.com/YCgUPQc.png Now my question is, can I "average" out these values? I assume I might be required to average out the values of the pixels used to create teh Raster Color? and if so, how could I do that? Thank you
