Complete subsampled image

Three types of enlargement are possible:

• a subsampled image, 50 km by 50 km,
• an extract of a 20 km by 20 km area with reduced resolution,
• an extract of a 6 km by 6 km area on the city of FOS/mer with full resolution (10 m by 10 m pixel)  for the B2/M band alone.

The digital product shown consists of the red (B2/M), near infrared (B3/XS3) and shortwave infrared (B4/SWIR) spectral bands. The B2 band has a 10m resolution while the other bands have been resampled to this resolution.

These spectral bands are assigned to the basic colours, red, green and blue:

The cartographic representation corresponds to a projection onto a plane tangent to the centre of the landscape image
acquired by the satellite, with the top of the image pointing towards the north.
