Use of Metric Camera for landscape units: Description and mapping
Abstract
Data from a Spacelab Metric Camera flight in winter over France were used to describe landscape units. The use of stereoscopy enabled the description of data concerning geomorphology, which was not possible when using LANDSAT images. The color infrared film enabled to distinguish and evaluate vegetation. The high resolution permitted to evaluate the field size and the presence of hedges. The main types of land use were recognized and the comparison of landscape units with government publications is encouraging.
