Rotterdam in ten Sentinel-2 bands

   

Written by:

Satellite view of central Rotterdam rendered as coloured pixels: the first three principal components of ten Sentinel-2 spectral bands mapped to red, green and blue. The Nieuwe Maas runs across the image in coral; built-up areas appear pink and purple, vegetation bright green.

Built from Sentinel-2 L2A scene S2A_31UFT_20240817 over central Rotterdam. Ten bands (B02-B12) were read over a 6.6 x 2.5 km window, each pixel treated as a ten-dimensional vector, projected onto its first three principal components by singular value decomposition, and stretched on the 2nd-98th percentile per component. These are spectral bands, not learned embeddings.
