James Bay from MISR

This image shows Hudson and James Bay in Canada. On the left is a conventional view from the camera looking straight down, and we see little color in this icy winter landscape. On the right, we combine data in a single color band but from three different cameras, encoding the forward view as blue, vertical as green, and aftward as red. Our automated data processing software geometrically superimposes every pixel from the different camera views. Color serves as a proxy to illustrate how different scene elements reflect light differently at different angles.
