![]() ![]() You can visualise multiple acquisitions if you need to. To visualise any of the images on the map, you need to click on the eye icon on the list. Once we’re in the app, after choosing the area of interest you’ll see a list of available archive imagery and information about future satellite overpasses and planned imaging. Choosing the right imageīefore we define our area of interest it’s worth creating a free account, since a lot of filters and data are available only for logged in users. For option number 3, you’ll find an extra at the end of this post. The video at the beginning shows how to accomplish 1 and 2 and here we’ll focus on going into details on these options. Accessing bands and bands combinations from the API.Downloading True Color Image in full resolution(only for Sentinel-2 satellite images).Downloading image visualised in the interface.There are 3 ways to get an RGB image depending on how advanced a user you are: It also gives you access to raw data allowing for custom arrangement of the bands. There are a lot of advantages in knowing how to operate with these bands but all you need to know for now is that spectator.earth combines available bands on the fly for ease of use and visualisation. Some of these bands fall outside of the visible spectrum (the part that we can see with our own eyes). The satellite imagery is usually recorded in multiple files storing multiple bands separately. passing through water particles and we see something like this: Rainbow in Calgary. ![]() Sometimes it happens that the light is split into its base components when e.g. Why? Avoiding deep dive into physics, for the sake of simplification, let’s just say that the light as we know it is really a combination of multiple bands. It’s a bit different when working with satellites and you usually want them separated. Usually, you don’t bother about bands as all you care about is a colour product that should try to represent what you see with your eyes. You’ll also sometimes hear, people don’t call them colours, they call them channels or bands. That’s why you’ll often hear about RGB(Red, Green, Blue) images. ![]() Those are usually built from a combination of three main colours: red, green and blue. ![]() What we’re all used to in everyday life are colour images.
