Abstract

Map making with remote sensing data requires geometric and radiometric processing methods (monoscopic and stereoscopic) adapted to the nature and characteristics of the data in order to extract the best cartographic and topographic information. For the monoscopic method, different geometric and radiometric processing techniques are compared and evaluated, quantitatively and qualitatively with their impact on the resulting composite images, using panchromatic SPOT and airborne SAR images. The techniques that take into account the nature of the data give better results, with greater integrity: a subpixel geometric accuracy with high-quality composite images, which are sharp and precise and containing well-defined cartographic elements and data that are easy to interpret and closer to physical reality. The stereoscopic method still is the most common method used by the mapping, photogrammetry and remote sensing communities to extract three-dimensional information. It is successfully applied either to images in the visible spectrum or radar images to generate digital elevation model with an accuracy of tens of metres depending of the data source.
