Abstract :
The authors have studied remote sensing data from sensors in different wavelength regions (optical, thermal infrared and microwave) and from different platforms (airborne and spaceborne) in order to extract geographical information. By comparing the extracted information with an existing geographical database of a test area in The Netherlands the authors find that to obtain relevant cartographic information from remote sensing images resolutions of 5 meter or less are required. For appropriate classification of extended objects like agricultural fields multi-layer imagery is necessary
