Master TIFF Images
Acquired by NASA High Altitude Mission Program
September 28, 1999
Two passes
were made over the San Pedro River Valley from south to north. The first pass (High Pass) was collected at 19,800 feet above
ground level (AGL). The second pass (Low Pass)
was collected at 6,600 feet AGL.
The digital data was collected with the MASTER sensor.
For the High Pass the pixel size resolution
represents a ground distance of 15 meters.
For the Low Pass the pixel size resolution
represents a ground distance of 6 meters.

These images
depict the red, green, and blue portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This composite is essentially what the human eye
sees.
False
Color Infrared Composites
Low Pass
High Pass
These images
are composites of the near infrared, red and green bands.
They emphasize vegetation with healthy vegetation portrayed in various
intensities of red.
Mid-Infrared
Composites
Low Pass
High Pass
These images
are comprised of the mid-infrared, near-infrared, and red bands. This is the standard presentation for the analysis
of rock, soils, and vegetation. Its
most appropriate application is over arid lands with limited vegetation cover. The vegetation is shown in bright green.
