This is a slice histogram produced by slicing a single satellite image tile (covering downtown San Diego) into ~1 million slices and arranging them by hue (x-axis) and saturation (vertical sorting). Especially during comparison with other image data, these plots give a clear, direct accounting of the color properties of the data. And because the visualization is composed of slices of actual images, it still retains some of the object content contained in those images. This is an advantage over other sorts of color plotting.
