Summary
Abstract: The 'Australian Antarctic Territory coastline 2003' dataset is a digital vector representation of the coastline of Antarctica, between 45 to 160 degrees east, based on both the edge of permanent ice and grounding line, derived by means of remote sensing interpretation.

A 'proof of concept' methodology over a test area was carried out to compare a number of complementary remote sensing techniques, ... View entire text

POSITIONAL ACCURACY:
The Antarctic coastline has been derived mostly from Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery with a spatial resolution of 30x30m pixels. Imagery dates used ranged from 1999 to 2002, making it a consistent 'one epoch' dataset. Landsat 7 ETM+ was the preferred sensor due to its improved horizontal accuracy, as ... View entire text
