Results of the ISPRS-CNES initiative to assess
the quality of the HRS instrument on board of SPOT 5 and derived DEM accuracy

Papers available on this site have been presented at the ISPRS Congress in Istanbul July 2004. Requirements about the data used for the experiments should be sent to the Principal Investigator (PI) of each Test Area and information about the results should be asked to the main author of the paper.
