ИСТИНА

Maps and actual remote sensing data are fundamental models of the reality. They are the most popular data sources for thematic mapping and often supplement each other. These two data sources have some similar properties. It means that the same processing method can be applied as for maps so to space images. Typical example is DEM development and its further interpretation. Research group of Digital Cartography and Photogrammetry Laboratory are mostly aimed at constructing DEMs for thematic mapping purposes. The main source for DEMs is space images of high resolution. General idea is DEM creation via photogrammetric technologies and GIS processing to get precise and correct outcome. Image processing is usually performed by means of Digital Photogrammetric Stations.
