Abstract

With the development of Global Position System and Inertial Navigation System (INS), the precise position and attitude parameters of airborne platform can be obtained. The new systems, such as INSAR and Scanning Laser Ranger, are excellent equipment for acquiring the relative height of Earth objects. At the same time optical remote sensing sensor makes rapid progress. It is time to integrate these system into a new one, which can provide high accurate DEM and remote sensing image synchronically
