In order to certificate the accuracy of Landsat-5 systematically corrected TM image data

an accuracy analysis of four scenes has been conducted based on 1: 50 000 topographic map. The results show that TM image data has high internal geometric fidelity and negligible rotation and scale differences. Polynomial of first degree has proved sufficient to fit full scene to the topographic map to one pixel accuracy. Geodetic error can be corrected by translating the whole TM image along x and y direction.
