Paris, France: Natural Color and False Color Composite

Hello Steemians, today I'm gonna show you some spectacular map images that will blow your mind. It is a product of geography and cartography, a branch of science which deals with the location, map creation and of course how it will be visualized.

In this post, I'm gonna show you Paris, France. One of my favorite place to visit but very soon when the opportunity comes I will visit there.

This map shows the "natural color" band combination or the Red-Green-Blue band combination. It is the color of how we see a place from an aircraft or from the space.

Visible bands are used in this combination, ground features appear in colors similar to their appearance to the human visual system, healthy vegetation is green, recently cleared fields are very light, unhealthy vegetation is brown and yellow, roads are gray, and shorelines are white. This band combination provides the most water penetration and superior sediment and bathymetric information. It is also used for urban studies.

This map shows the standard "false color" composite. Vegetation appears in shades of red, urban areas are cyan blue, and soils vary from dark to light browns. Ice, snow, and clouds are white or light cyan.

Coniferous trees will appear darker red than hardwoods. This is a very popular band combination and is useful for vegetation studies, monitoring drainage, and soil patterns and various stages of crop growth.

Generally, deep red hues indicate broadleaf and/or healthier vegetation while lighter reds signify grasslands or sparsely vegetated areas. Densely populated urban areas are shown in light blue.

This band combination gives results similar to traditional color infrared aerial photography.

And that's how beautiful Paris, France is. If you like this post, please do upvote.
