ACKNOWLEDGE MENTS 
This work was carried out as part of the research activities of 
the National Research Programme PRIN05 “Use and 
integration of high resolution digital images acquired by aerial 
or satellite platforms for cartographic and environmental 
applications”. The person in charge is Prof. Sergio Dequal. 
The authors would like to thank C.G.R for proving the ADS40 
1 st generation images, Geotop s.r.l. for providing UltraCamD 
images, Geoworks s.r.l. for providing DMC images, Leica 
Geosystems for providing the ADS40 2 nd generation images and 
RATI s.r.l. for providing the 3-DAS-1 images.
