AKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
This work has been carried out under a research framework 
founded by the Italian Ministry for University and Research 
(COFIN 2001), contract title: *L'uso delle immagini satellitari 
ad alta risoluzione per le analisi territoriali". SPOT-5 HRG, 
QuickBird PAN and Eros-Al stereo images were provided for 
the framework research. The GEOREF project was founded and 
supported by geoLAB (Universita degli Studi di Firenze). We 
would like to thank Ing. Francesco Livraghi for MS-Windows 
implementation of GEOREF software.
