False color is a visual representation technique used in imaging and data analysis where colors are assigned to represent data values in ways that do not correspond to their actual colors. This method is commonly employed in various fields such as remote sensing, astronomy, medical imaging, and other disciplines where specific wavelengths or data attributes need to be visualized clearly. In false color imaging, specific ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum (such as infrared, ultraviolet, or other non-visible wavelengths) are mapped to visible colors.
