Create a 3D print depicting New York City's nighttime illumination using Suomi NPP VIIRS DNB data, with light intensity as the z-axis. For optimal results, resize it in Repetier-Host before printing. Alternatively, generate a global city's night lights 3D model from Suomi NPP VIIRS/DNB data by preparing a grayscale image, smoothing out spikes, and using Matlab to create the .stl file; a straightforward process.
