Horizontal Datum | WGS84 |
Map Projection | Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) |
Resampling Kernel | Cubic Convolution (default), MTF, or Nearest Neighbor |
Product Framing | Image Tile (Image tiles are based on a worldwide, 24km by 24km fixed grid system. To each 24km by 24km grid square, a 500m overlap is added to produce a 25km by 25km image tile. Image tiles are black-filled 1km beyond the order polygon used during order placement. Tiles only partially covered by an image take will be also be blackfilled in areas containing no valid image data.An ESRI Shapefile of the RapidEye Level 3A tile grid can be downloaded here |
