True color conversion

An algorithm that converts RGB bands in Pléiades Neo imagery to 8-bit true color.

Overview

The process applies color curve correction and bit conversion to 16-bit encoded RGB bands in Pléiades Neo imagery. The result is a 8-bit true color GeoTIFF file.

True color correction can be used as a preprocessing step before applying analytics processes.
