		<description><![CDATA[Standard terrain visualization programs like MicroDEM or 3DEM typically give you the option of viewing terrain either from top down:

Or from an oblique angle, looking in one direction:


Terrain Bender offers you the ability to warp the terrain so that you can combine both views in a single image; this is analogous to the view from [...]

Someone asked me for a recommended free alternative, and for now I’d pick MicroDEM for that. It does [...]

Well, I know one way to do it with free software:

1. First, if it’s not already in shapefile format, you need to convert the list [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Orbiting satellites often have two types of digital imaging sensors:
- Multispectral, i.e. different sensors for different colors (including IR), or different filters in front of the same sensor. Each individual band can be shown as a black-and-white image; multiple bands can each be assigned a color, and combined to form an RGB color image.
- Panchromatic, [...]
