RGB Image Composites – Pros & Cons
• Drawbacks:– Millions of colours compared to discrete classes
used in quantitative image products interpretation more difficult;
– Cannot be handled by colour-blind.• Advantages:
– Millions of colours: high information content;– Easily implemented;– Preserves “natural look” of images by retaining
original textures (in particular for clouds);– Preserves temporal continuity allowing for smooth
animation of RGB image sequences.
