Summary
PIA04961: Cape Town, South Africa, Perspective View, Landsat Image over SRTM Elevation. <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town" class="mw-redirect" title="Cape Town">Cape Town</a> and the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cape_of_Good_Hope&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Cape of Good Hope (page does not exist)">Cape of Good Hope</a>, 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 <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Table_Mountain" title="Table Mountain">Table Mountain</a>, 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.
