Abstract
The paper discusses the concept of stereo-rectified photo maps produced from space photography as well as describing and demonstrating the production of such an experimental map. Such maps may be of assistance to planners and resource managers at a regional level to supplement existing topographic coverage by providing a stereo model which may assist in interpreting the landscape.
Although the Large Format Camera as a source of space photography has been suspended following the NASA shuttle disaster, a second launch of a metric camera aboard an ESA mission in the early 1990s will provide new high resolution large area photography and as a result further such maps with better control and resolution could be created.
