Generates a false color image from three bands of a multi-band VIS image. By default, bands 3,2,1 are represented in red, green, and blue; however, any three band combination can be generated by editing the "band=321" phrase in the url.
the colors assigned to the range of satellite data when it is presented on images such as a map
An image created by representing data from three wavelength bands (such as ultraviolet, red, and infrared) with three visible colors (red, green, and blue) to produce an image that aids in the interpretation and understanding of the data in the three bands. Compare color composite and true color images.
A technique scientists use to help them see details in images of objects. The colors the scientist picks for his or her image may have nothing to do with the color of the object. Sometimes the chosen colors represent the density, temperature, or other properties of parts of the object. Thus, the viewer of a false color image must always be told by the creator of the image what the colors mean.
An imaging process that assigns visible colors to data values detected for a spectral band other than the assigned color; in other words, a color image is produced that does not represent the "true" color of the scene as it would naturally appear to the human eye.
