Hello Christian,
Thank you very much for your reply, I am most grateful.
I wasn't able to open the files in the shared folders, but I did successfully convert my layers to 8 bit using the layer arithmetics algorithm. However, it's not clear to me how I use the 8-bit layers to perform the segmentation as I can distinguish even less with the 8-bit layers than I could with the 32-bit layers.
32 bit:
8 bit:
I have experimented with different layer combinations in the view settings, but I see a solid block of color no matter which combination of 8-bit layers I try. Where am I going wrong?
It's worth mentioning that I'm not intending to segment the whole scene. I have a mask containing one type of land cover (a tree crop) and I'm looking to distinguish different age classes and the presence/absence of flooding within that single tree crop. I'm not seeking advice on how to use a thematic layer to limit the segmentation, I know how to do this. I mention it so you are aware that the differences among my classes are much more subtle than trying to distinguish among buildings, roads, rivers, crops etc.
I appreciate any advice you might have.
Thank you very much.
Sarah
