This colorization of an aerial view of the Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, Maryland, shows the independent spectral signature of the terrain. Earth Search Sciences Inc. were commissioned to provide the hyperspectral data using their PROBE-1 imager from a helicopter at the A.R.L. Adelphi site.

This artwork is a digital collage focusing on remote sensing. An image base was designed from a synthesis of satellite multispectral, airborne hyperspectral and ground based Laser Radar sensors information. Research for this work involved designing a new color coding scheme for LADAR imaging analysis and commissioning three sensor data sets: a Landsat 7 satellite, multispectral view of the Chesapeake Bay area where the Laboratory is based; an airborne hyperspectral view of the laboratory; and a ground base L.A.D.A.R. 3D data set of the Zhal Laboratory building. The coloring of the satellite view which dominates the background was initially based on a spectral cast produced by an interferometer but has, for dramatic effect, undergone a free-form distortion caused by a series of digital filtering techniques. The helicopter featured is the Comanche helicopter.
