Abstract :
An automated method is proposed for producing a digital terrain model from SPOT/HRV stereo pair images. The method provides terrain height by using absolute orientation with the minimum number (two) of ground control points. The precision of terrain height obtained from an actual stereo pair image was estimated to be within 20 m
