What is the geodetic accuracy of the Landsat 7 systematic corrected product?
An extract from the following document: Barker, J. L., Dolan, S. K., Sabelhaus, P. A., Williams, D. L., Irons, J. R., Markham, B. L., Bolek, J. T., Scott, S. S., Thompson, R. J., Rapp, J. J.,Arvidson, T. J., Kane, J. F.,& Storey, J. C. (1999). Landsat-7 Mission and Early Results. EUROPTO Conference on Sensors, Systems, and Next-Generation Satellites V, vol 3870 ( pp. 299 311). Florence, Italy: SPIE. notes that: The geodetic accuracy of the systematically corrected image using the routinely supplied PCD-ephemeris will usually be better than 50 meters. In those cases where there is an excursion in geodetic accuracy greater than 50 meters, it appears that the use of post-processed definitive ephemeris will bring systematically corrected geodetic accuracy to within 50 meters again. In 2002, ESA/ESRIN carried out a study with the aim of assessing the impact of PCD/DEF ephemeris on product geodetic accuracy. This study confirmed the assertions made by Barker et al (above).
