Orientation of SPOT stereopairs by means of matching a relative DEM and the SRTM DEM J. A. Gon?alves a a Faculdade Ciências - Universidade Porto, Rua Campo Alegre 4169-007 Porto, Portugal - jagoncal@fc.up.pt KEY WORDS: SPOT, SRTM, DEM, Image orientation, Correlation ABSTRACT: This paper presents a methodology to obtain an accurate exterior orientation of SPOT stereopairs using as ground control only the SRTM 3 arc second DEM. The method is based on the extraction of a relative DEM from the stereopair, after a relative orientation. This DEM is then matched to the SRTM DEM by correl
