Abstract

Cartosat-1 is the eleventh satellite of the Indian Space Research Organisation series and is primarily meant for topographic mapping and Digital Terrain Model (DTM) generation. In the framework of the Cartosat-1 Scientific Assessment Programme, the Politecnico di Milano University (Italy) evaluated as Co-Investigator the performances of the Cartosat-1 satellite in the generation of DTMs. This paper describes the outcomes for the Salon de Provence test site (France) with respect to existing standards and products actually used in France and also provides a comparison with the global Shuttle Radar Topography Mission’s DTM supplied by NASA and widely used in the remote sensing community.
