How do they add colour to an infrared image?

[–] unicorn@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

You can just assign visible colours to these invisible-to-humans parts of the spectrum so that we can see them. :)

IIRC they estimate the true colour via the wavelength of light collected in the data, or something like that.
