Avaliação preliminar de fotografias da câmara métrica obtidas pelo Laboratório Espacial Columbia

Abstract

This paper deals with a preliminary analysis of the Metric Camera photography of a forest area on Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brasil. It was not possible to distinguish the diffe» rent vegetation types based only in the visual interpretation of the Stereoscopic model. The Metric Camera photography is shown to have a great potential as a data source for natural resource management. It has stereo capacity and good resolution and because of its small scale, 11800000, permits an excellent sinoptic view.
