Summary
DescriptionSatellite image of Cape peninsula.jpg |
Afrikaans: 'n Satellietbeeld van die Kaapse Skiereiland en aanliggende Wes-Kaap in Suid-Afrika wat in Februarie 2000 deur Nasa met behulp van hul Landsat verkry is. Kaapstad en die Kaap die Goeie Hoop verskyn op die voorgrond van hierdie beeld. Die middestad is digby Tafelberg aan Tafelbaai geleë. Tafelberg wat 1 086 meter hoog staan, bestaan uit sandsteen en graniet. Die groot suidelike baai, wat soos 'n gat in die vasteland voorkom, is Valsbaai.
'n Satellietfoto wat deur Landsat geneem is, word met data van die hoogtes bo seevlak van die betrokke gebiede (saamgestel deur die Pendeltuig se Radartopografiesending, of SRTM) gekombineer om hierdie saamgestelde beeld te verkry. Die foto is deur NASA geskep en die oorspronklike beeld is by hierdie skakel te vinde. Deutsch: Satellitenbild des Kap der Guten Hoffnung, erstellt aus Bildern von Landsat und Daten der SRT-Mission des NASA Space Shuttle Endeavor vom Februar 2000. Kapstadt und das Kap sind im Vordergrund der perspektivischen Ansicht zu sehen. Die perspektivische Ansicht wurde künstlich aus Fotografien und Radardaten zusammengesetzt.
English: PIA04961: Cape Town, South Africa, Perspective View, Landsat Image over SRTM Elevation. Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, appear in the foreground of this perspective view generated from a Landsat satellite image and elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The city center is located at Table Bay (at the lower left), adjacent to Table Mountain, a 1,086-meter (3,563-foot) tall sandstone and granite natural landmark. The large bay facing right (South) is False Bay. The perspective is computer generated, combining a photograph with elevation data collected using radar. This Landsat and SRTM perspective view uses a 2-times vertical exaggeration to enhance topographic expression. The back edges of the data sets form a false horizon and a false sky was added. Colors of the scene were enhanced by image processing but are the natural color band combination from the Landsat satellite. |
