Abstract

This paper describes the experiments conducted concerning production and revision of maps
and the use of satellite images in Germany.
Since 1976, using satellite imagery, photogrammetric products on a scale of 1: 500,000 to 1: 50,000 have been produced. In the past few years, we obtained a high resolution (5 to 10 meters) from Russian satellite images taken using the KFA-1000 camera.
Experiments have shown that these photos are suitable for revising maps on scales from 1: 25,000 to 1: 50,000.
