Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey has a longstanding commitment to the advancement of the technology and applications of remotely sensed data from civilian satellite systems. In the past, research based on satellite data was primarily directed toward natural resource and land use applications rather than cartographic applications. The availability of high-resolution, stereoscopic data from the sensors on the Système Probatoire d’Observation de la Terre (SPOT) satellite platform provides new opportunities for cartographic applications. The potential applications include production of satellite image and topographic maps, and generation of digital elevation data. Investigations into these applications of SPOT data were recently initiated by the U.S. Geological Survey.
