Abstract

CanImage is a Raster image containing information from Landsat 7 orthoimages that have been resampled and based on the National Topographic System (NTS) at the 1:50 000 scale in the UTM projection. The Landsat 7 ortho images contain 8 spectral bands. For the creation of the CanImage product, the following bands were retained: band 3 (red), 2 (green) and 1 (green-blue). These bands are displayed using the colors: red (band 3), green (band 2) and blue (band 1). A linear stretching is done on each of the 3 band in order to increase the contrast. The clipping of the product according to the NTS in the UTM projection generate an overlap between the adjacent CanImage data sets.

The data are provided in large tiles based on the National Topographic System (NTS) map sheets.
