Landsat Geometric Verify Image

Detailed Description

The Landsat Geometric Verify Image and Report files are provided in Landsat 1-5 Multispectral Scanner (MSS) and Landsat 4-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) Collection 1 Tier 1 data products. The Verify Image file (_VER.jpg) displays a colored grid of verification points to represent the accuracy of geometric correction, using cross-correlation techniques to compare the product to the GLS 2000 reference dataset. This graphic representation of the Geometric Verify Report (_VER.txt) assists users in determining the geometric accuracy of each MSS and TM precision- and terrain-corrected scene.
