This detail shows a false color multispectral image of Central Washington D.C., specifically the Chesapeake Bay area where the Laboratory is based. This was a specially commissioned image taken by the Landsat 7 satellite. The coloring of this satellite view 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.

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 helicopter featured is the Comanche helicopter.
