LA Sorted (from the Big Atlas of LA Pools)
Each pixel of the source satellite imagery classified into four categories (top to bottom): Sea, Developed Areas (streets, houses etc.), Pools and Vegetation + Soil. Within the categories each pixel is sorted to its greyscale value. A pixel represents the size of 2m x 2m, the image shows 428.955.900 pixels (17450 × 24582).
