3 D Visualization and Evaluation of Remote Sensing Data

The parallel evaluation of remote sensing data from multiple sensors is complicated by different image scales and orientations. Thus a simultaneous visualization of the multi-sensor data is envisaged. For a spatial impression of the observed area the images are co-registered, projected onto a 3D terrain model and displayed stereoscopically. The presented 3D evaluation system allows the real-time navigation in the virtual landscape. The user is able to manipulate the 3D model by blending and mosaicking the images from different sensors. An online access to a geoinformation system (GIS) offers the possibility to display GIS data.
