Abstract
Remote Sensing Cartosat-1 data reflecting the interpretation of relief features of Jaisalmer region, constituting a central part of the Thar Desert of Rajasthan in Indian sub-continent have been used for generation of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). High resolution space-borne remote sensing image data exemplify a high level of details and aid in remote sensing applications. Digital Elevation Model data and ortho-rectified imagery have been analysed and interpreted. Multi-view images are treated as stereo image pairs to obtain stereoscopy. A novel methodology for DEM generation from Cartosat-1 Indian satellite data of Thar Desert at 2.5m, using stereo strip triangulation (SST) geometric modeling technique has been elaborated. Cartosat-1- DEM is valuable for the interpretation of macro and meso relief, and provides opportunity for mapping especially at medium scales (1:100,000 and 1:50,000). Geomorphic parameters have been applied to identify and illustrate geomorphologic forms and processes, which were extracted by using the software elevation, contour, aspect, slope angle and drainage network.
