The RGB is created using the red, green, and blue channels of the respective instrument.<\/span><\/p> The Color Infrared composite is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue.<\/span><\/p> Suggested Use:<\/span><\/p> The True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. The True Color RGB is produced using the 3 visible wavelength bands (red, green, and blue) from the respective sensor. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.<\/span><\/p> A Color Infrared composite depicts healthy vegetation as red, water as blue.
