USGS TerraWeb: Flagstaff Atlas: SPOT Panchromatic Stereo Images (596 words)
For this study we had a SPOT 10 meter panchromatic stereo image pair collected; a nadir looking image was collected on November 7, 1995, and an approximately 29 degrees west/off nadir looking image was collected on November 8, 1995.
The stereo images shown in previous figures were generated using an existing DEM at 30 meter resolution and artificially introducing horizontal parallax into either the shaded relief of the DEM or Landsat TM images.
