d in 8. CONCLUSION
In the present environment of " data explo-
om- sion ", possesion of latest spatial information by
mi- the scientists, planners and the administrators has
1ap. become highly relevant for their day-to-day re-
search, execution and monitoring of develop-
mental projects / activities. It is in this context that
updation of the existing maps has become neces-
sary and meaningful. It is seen that stereo-image-
ies ries, in combination with aerial photography,
by may provide a way out for speedy updation which
at the same time is cost-effective. Data capture in
respect of roads, village limits, change in river
courses etc. can be done with ease from satellite
stereo-imageries and reference to aerial photog-
raphy may facilitate interpretation of more details
which otherwise cannot be interpreted if stereo-
imageries are used in isolation. DEM generated
from stereo-imageries may be an asset for micro-
level planning.
