maps - NZ - virtualNZ - Landsat 2012 - HD
(best viewed in 720pHD) ... used on ... this NZ version was composited from over 500 Landsat 5 and 7 tiles (1999-2011, median date is 2003.03.21), it is absolutely cloudless, and without patches (no missing or made up data) nor seams, seasonal extremes nor local/temporal colour variations
snow cover was removed from Landsat images captured during the months of June, July, August, Setptember the original composite is 20m per pixel resolution (upscaled from utm 28-30m,) and was authored entirely in 16bit colour depth, and in metres, not degrees... original composite is 60,000 x 90,000 pixels in nztm2000 format, and registers very well with existing government sourced topographic maps
would make a cool ultra-large format print, poster, or atlas
upscaling from original Landsat resolution of 28-30m to 20m works ok, as this composite is very colour rich due to the large number of images it is made up from
