Abstract :
Due to legal requirements the German hard coal mining company “Deutsche Steinkohle AG” (DSK) is obliged by assessments on environmental impact to make a prognosis and to forecast influences caused by current excavations. Important data needed are “Digital Terrain Models” (DTM) which describe the topographic situation, information on biotopes and the actual land-cover. Today these data are generated by methods of analytical photogrammetry and by manual fieldwork. With regard to effectiveness and economy DSK has started to evaluate new methods of data taking and data processing by using digital photogrammetry and remote sensing techniques
