Level 2A relative geometric disparity metrics

Introduction​

This metadata file summarises the comparison between the different bands of an image. Tiepoints are collected for both bands.

Tiepoints are collected between different combination of bands of an image. The distances between these corresponding tiepoints are measured.

note

These tiepoints are independent of the tiepoints collected to process the image

The relative geometric verification metadata file is similar to the absolute geometric verification metadata file. However, the relative geometric verification metadata file contains measurements between the band combinations that were measured.

Sample file​

Sample: LANDSAT-9_OLI_20220804T083603_20220804T083634_L2A_R1C1_GVER_REL.json

Property details​

This section contains explanations on specific properties of the relative geometric disparity metrics file. All the properties that have been expanded on are listed in a structured manner under the Reference section.

Pixel Colour Mappings​

This section describes the pixelColorMappings property. This provides a legend to quantify disparities in colour ranges. This legend is used for the thumbnail referenced in imageName.
