16-to-8 Bit Conversion

Description

A processing block that enables using partner processing blocks that require 8 bit imagery with 16 bit imagery from Sentinel-2 L2A.

See this block on the marketplace.

Data blocks

Catalog collections

TripleSat:
- Analytic — 16 bit
Capella Space:
- SLC
- SICD

How it works

This block has no configurable JSON parameters.

The block takes 16 bit GeoTIFF images as input and applies a conversion factor to output 8 bit GeoTIFF images. The conversion uses the formula below:

result = val{\_}12bit \frac{2^8 - 1}{2^{12} - 1}

Example

A workflow with the following blocks:
