POSITIONAL ACCURACY:

Comprised of over 1270 individual scenes, covering over 30 million square kilometers (11.5 million square miles), this mosaic of Landsat Thematic Mapper Imagery has an absolute positional RMS accuracy of 50 meters. Such accuracy is made possible by virtue of the fact that the geodetic positioning of the entire collection of 1270 plus scenes was simultaneously adjusted using block adjustment.
