Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...

Photogrammetry provides spatial and descriptive information from imagery that can be used in countless applications, including ortho-image production, map creation, construction planning, and military reconnaissance. The type of cameras traditionally used for these various applications were large format analog cameras. In recent years, however, the use of digital cameras for photogrammetric pur...

A new digital elevation model (DEM) is presented for accurate surface representation in photogrammetric processing of stereo ground-based imagery. This model is named the continuative variable resolution DEM (cvrDEM). In contrast to traditional grid-based DEMs that have only one fixed resolution, this new model can provide resolutions that vary depending on the range represented in the groundba...

The use of terrestrial remote imaging techniques, specifically LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and digital stereo-photogrammetry, are widely proven and accepted for the mapping of geological structure and monitoring of mass movements. The use of such technologies can be limited, however: LiDAR generally by the cost of acquisition, and stereo-photogrammetry by the tradeoff between possible r...
