Quicklook

This article covers satellite imagery called Quicklook. For the preview function in Mac OS X, see Quick Look

Quicklooks (also known as browse images ) are artificially degraded satellite images that are intended for a quick overview of data. On the basis of such images, one can judge in advance of a purchase or download whether the relevant data is fully suitable for the objective of a project (e.g. whether it actually covers a certain area and how the distribution of clouds, veils or others) Interference is). For Quicklooks, the spatial resolution or color depth is usually reduced and / or the data is subjected to lossy compression (e.g. JPEG).
