i.tasscap calculates Tasseled Cap (Kauth Thomas, TC) transformation for Landsat TM data (TM4, TM5, ETM7),
       MODIS and Sentinel-2 data.  The tasseled cap transformation is effectively a compression method to reduce
       multiple  spectral data into a few bands. The method was originally developed for understanding important
       phenomena of crop development in spectral space (Kauth and Thomas, 1976).

       Tasseled cap coefficients for Landsat 7 ETM+ are at-satellite reflectance values (C. Huang et al., 2001),
       the conversion can be achieved with i.landsat.toar.

       The following tasseled cap components are generated:

           •   tasscap.1: corresponds to brightness,

           •   tasscap.2: corresponds to greenness,

           •   tasscap.3: corresponds to wetness,

           •   tasscap.4: corresponds to atmospheric haze (only selected sensors: Landsat 5,7,8).

       Calculation of TC maps from North Carolina Landsat 7 ETM scene:
       # See manual page of i.landsat.toar for pre-processing
       g.region raster=lsat7_2002_toar.1 -p
       i.tasscap sensor=landsat7_etm \
         input=lsat7_2002_toar.1,lsat7_2002_toar.2,lsat7_2002_toar.3,lsat7_2002_toar.4,lsat7_2002_toar.5,lsat7_2002_toar.7 \
         output=lsat7_2002_tasscap
       Results:

        ’Brightness’TasseledCapcomponent1’Greenness’TasseledCapcomponent2’Wetness’TasseledCapcomponent3’Atmospherichaze’TasseledCapcomponent4
