Abstract :
The parallel evaluation of remote sensing data from multiple sensors is complicated by different image scales and orientations. Thus, simultaneous visualization of the multi-sensor data is envisaged. For a spatial impression of the observed area the images are co-registered, projected onto a 3D terrain model and displayed stereoscopically. The presented 3D evaluation system allows real-time navigation in the virtual landscape. The user is able to manipulate the 3D model by blending the images ad forming a mosaic from different sensors. Online access to a geoinformation system (GIS) offers the possibility to display GIS data
