Image Processing

Here you can upload an image to extrapolate into a multiband image sequence, useful for predicting how a scene would look to an animal.
It is best to use a source image that has not been color enhanced in any way, not even by the camera itself. The image should be as close to raw photosensor data as possible.

Make image public

Notice: By uploading an image, you grant the webmaster of this site the right to create derivative works (i.e. the multiband output images and the spectrum-matching mask images, as well as images simulating an animal's perception) and display the original source image and said derivative works to you on this website and/or by email. You hereby certify that you have the rights to enter into this agreement. If you make the image public, you further give perpetual, worldwide permission to display such source image and derivative works on this site, and certify that you have the rights to grant that permission. If you choose to not make this processing job public, it will only be accessible to your IP address (3.17.78.182). Anyone else in your organization using the same firewall or proxy, or anyone who otherwise accesses this site from the same IP address, will have access to this processing job. Should your IP address change, you will no longer be able to view this job unless you've made it public.

Tip: If there are visible blue shadows in the image, make sure to include "Sky" for terrestrial scenes or "Water" for underwater scenes, then highlight the shadows in green via the (Edit) links for "blue sky", "shallow water", and/or "lake water" on the next page. Otherwise your shadows may falsely match incorrect spectra that have similar visual colors.
