Abstract(summary):
The status of world topographic mapping and the acquisition of satellite image data for land resource mapping applications are reviewed. Special focus has been placed on results from the German MOMS-02 system, which offers high-resolution, stereoscopic image data for the production of medium-scale maps. It is concluded that topographic mapping from space is on the verge of becoming an operational reality.
