ABSTRACT 
The image map of a big town is the new cartographic product of potential use in numerous applications including such as 
acquiring real estate of the town, general planning purposes, management on the district level and engineering associated with 
construction setting and for digital topographic map revision up to the scale 1: 25,000. New generation of satellite maps of 
Warsaw area in scales from 1: 50,000 to 1: 10,000 elaborated fully digitally at the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography are 
presented. 
The raw data used were: KFA-1000 and KVR-1000 Russian high resolution space photographs in scale approx. 1: 220,000, 
SPOT XS digital data and topographic maps in scales 1: 10,000, 1: 25,000, 1: 50,000. 
The methodology of elaborating six different kinds of the satellite maps using digital image processing systems VPSTA of the 
P$ and ISI-3 Intergraph is discussed. Several new concepts of the design of the image map are presented including different use 
of colours and the application of topographic signs. High resolution of the KVR-1000 image is shown on the example of the 
1: 10,000 scale Black/White image map. Two approaches to the use of colours in the image map are shown in scales 1: 25,000 
and 1: 50,000. One is the "traditional" remote sensing reach palette with all greens in red and the other is semi - natural set of 
colours limited to 3 or 4 but with changing intensities to imitate the traditional map colours. The idea of making the image map 
easy to use is realised through overlying the image by the classic topographic map symbology. 
Final hard-copies printed on IRIS, STORK and BARCO Ink-Jet printers will be presented. 
The planimetric accuracy RMSE x,y = + 7.8 m was achieved for the 1: 25,000 scale map which corresponds to 0.3 mm as 
measured on the map sheet. 
This digital image maps are useful also for updating topographic maps up to the scale 1: 25,000. 
1. B/W AND FALSE COLOUR KFA-1000 RUSSIAN Software for space triangulation using KFA photographs has 
SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS. also been developed in IGiK. A block consisting of the three 
strips (each containing six space photographs with 60% 
KFA-1000 photographs have been used in the Institute of overlap and 10% sidelap) was elaborated using only 6 
Geodesy and Cartography (IGiK) for topographic map GCP's. Using check points RMSE x,y = + 7 m and RMSE 
updating up to the scale 1: 50,000 since 1985. These z = + 30 m were achieved. These photographs and calculated 
photographs have been also used for elaborating coordinates of the photopoints have been used for 
orthophotomaps in the scale 1: 50,000 using analytical production of orthophotomaps and updating of topographic 
plotter Planicomp P-1 and Orthocomp Z-1 ZEISS. Results maps up to the scale 1: 50,000. As the base/height ratio of

KFA-1000 are tilted t 8 degrees or t 20 degrees and have elaborated analytically or digitally with accuracy approx. 
stereoscopic overlap 6096. Ground resolution about 6 m. 30 m could be generated. 
Image coordinates measured on the KFA-1000 images have
