ABSTRACT:
The method of this invention simulates a 16-bit color composite satellite picture upon an 8-bit color display system, a simulated picture being of substantially equal quality as a 16-bit picture, a simulated picture can be placed on a personal computer system or workstation having an 8-bit color display system. The two 8-bit images for creating the 16-bit color picture are combined in a unique manner so that a resulting 8-bit color composite picture is presented on the 8-bit color display system. The 8-bit picture produced generally has greater contrast than the picture produced on the 16 bit system.
