First MSG-1 Image
through GeoSatSignal

Here is the first published data from MSG-1 processed tofalse-colour through a experimental version of GeoSatSignal. Please note that this is the full resolution data, not the half-resolution datathat has already been published.

Please note:

  • the image is a 4 MB download
  • the image size is 5568 x 11136 pixels x 24-bit colour
  • the picture will therefore take about 180 MB of memory to display
  • if you have less than 256 MB physical memory available, your computer may slow or hang when displaying this size of image
  • no - putting in a zip file wouldn't make it any smaller!
  • subsequent processing these images may require 512/1024 MB of physical memory

Processing the data

The data here is a combination of two sensors, the broad-bandvisible high-resolution channel (HRV) and the far-IR channel centred on10.8µm. The HRV data is a 3.5MB JPEG image sized at 5568 pixels wide (east-west) and 11136 pixelshigh (north-south). The thermal data is only one third of that resolution,3712 pixels square, so ithas been interpolated up to to the full HRV resolution. It was a 2MBJPEG.

The visible channel hasbeen histogram equalised for better display, although this has made artefacts inthe original JPEG image data somewhat more visible. The thermal channelhas been used to colour the image, with blue/violet areas being colder, andgreen areas warmer. This is preliminary data, so there is no spatial orthermal calibration.

The resulting image was saved with a higher than usual amountof JPEG compression tokeep the file size down.

You don’t need to pay for Photoshop or another photo editing app to resize images and make them smaller on a Mac. You can use Preview which comes as part of MacOS and resize images for free. Upto 98% compression. Compress PDF to chosen size. Compress pdf to 1MB, 500KB, 200KB, 100kb online or offline. Best pdf compressor online. So, you have succeeded in.creating file less than 2MB (2048Kb) Lossy compression always exists in JPEGs. It is the nature of the format Anything in LR with a Quality setting between 92 -100 is at a compression level of 12 (the least compression available in the JPEG format. There are many components that determine the size of the PSD. If you need to resize a JPEG to two megabytes or less to comply with upload or disk space limits, adjust the image using Adobe Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Photo Pro or the free Microsoft Paint program included with the Windows operating system. Click 'File' in the top menu bar and select 'Open.'

Many thanks to EUMETSAT formaking this preliminary data available.

First Archive Direct data through GeoSatSignal

As you may know, Eumetsat is now making digital data from Meteosat 7 and Meteosat 5 available directly on the Internet through their new Archive Direct service. Although it is not real-time (data are delayed by 24 hours), it gives the chance for enthusiasts to see some really high-resolution images even if they cannot receive the primary (PDUS) data.

The data here was processed through an experimental version of GeoSatSignal which can handle the digital OPEN_MTP format files in which this data is supplied. The file sizes are not too big (2.5MB for IR, 10MB for visible) as a lossless compression is used on the data.

The visible channel has been histogram equalised and sharpened and displayed as brightness. The thermal channel has been resampled to the same resolution as the visible channel, converted into temperature, and used to supply the hue of the colour component of the output image.

  • the image is a 3.2MB download
  • the image size is 5000 x 5000 pixels x 24-bit colour
  • the picture will therefore take about 75 MB of memory to display
  • if you have less than 128 MB physical memory available, your computer may slow or hang when displaying this size of image
  • the image was saved with a higher than usual amountof JPEG compression tokeep the file size down.
