Data quality

Lineage:

SPOT 4 HRVIR XI imagery was acquired by the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales through ACRES. Cloud cover was assessed as 0% although there are bushfire smoke plumes evident on the southern part of the image. ACRES then orthocorrected the image and supplied it through Raytheon Australia Pty Ltd.

Positional accuracy:

SPOT 4 multispectral imagery has a resolution of 20m. An ACRES digital quality assessment was provided with the image. Based on the lineage of the orthocorrected imagery, the resulting products are likely to have an accuracy of about 3 to 4 pixels.

Attribute accuracy:

Completeness:

The imagery is complete for the extent recorded in this metadata statement.
