What are the geo-positional errors or spatial accuracies associated with the CDL?
Prior to 2006, the Landsat TM/ETM categorized images were co-registered to MDA/EarthSat Inc’s ortho-rectified GeoCover Stock Mosaic images using automated block correlation techniques. The resulting correlations were applied to each categorized image and then added to a master image or mosaic using NASS’ in-house software, PEDITOR. The GeoCover Stock Mosaics are within 50 meters root mean squared error overall. See MDA/EarthSat’s http://www.mdafederal.com/home website for further details.
