APPLICATIONS OF THE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY SYSTEM DPS, A RIGOROUS THREE DIMENSIONAL COMPILATION PROCESS FOR PUSH BROOM IMAGERY

摘要

The German Aero-Space Company Messerschmitt Bolkow Blohm GmbH (MBB), Munich, developed a new concept for a digital stereo-scanner with three line sensor pilation method. The digital stereo camera in combination withthe DPS compilation method is to be expected to compete with the frame camera in the future. The possibilities of the application of the DPS to photogrammetry and cartography, topographic and thematic mapping, generation of digital terrain models, ortho- and stereo-orthophotos, computer supported interactive evaluations are described and advantages and problems are discussed. The DPS will be applied with special advantages in those cases where large areas have to be mapped in medium and small scales in a short time. Therefore this new technology is suitable for developing countries and countries with large areas.
