Universal Transverse Mercator (utm)

Each focused on a meridian of longitude 6 ° encompassing and mid-latitudes is a series of identical projections from the world employ commonly used map projection. utm projection preserves the same scale and angular relationships, meaning the conformality, his property by, and which provides a useful superimposed with rectangular grid is characterized by ease. Landsat data used in applications of intense looking, the most commonly used of the utm projection has been. Sometimes called Gauss-Kruger projection.
