We present a method of visualization of the remote sensing data that allows a quick synthesis of heterogeneous data for its interpretation by a human operator. The method is suitable for processing pictures of one optical band as well as polyzonal and hyperspectral aero pictures. It allows using a priori knowledge for visualization. Different methods of preliminary image processing can also be easily included in the model. As a result a number of alternative visualizations of the same dataset can be obtained depending on the interpretation objectives. The method is particularly efficient at the interpretation of barely visible objects. It makes it possible to reduce the influence of particular conditions of remote probing such as lightening conditions and an optical receiver on the results of visual interpretation.
