3D 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, 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 real-time navigation in the virtual landscape. The user is able to manipulate the 3D model by blending the images ad forming a mosaic from different sensors. Online access to a geoinformation system (GIS) offers the possibility to display GIS data.
