The processing system is able to handle data of all different 
HRSC camera types (HRSC-A/AX/AXW) and, provided 
adequate interior orientation data is available, of other sensors 
based on the multi-line principle. Figure 6 shows an example of 
ortho-images and DSM from ADS40 data (raw data kindly 
provided by LH SYSTEMS) and of an HRSC-AX data set. 
The data of both sensors have been processed with the one and 
the same software system, which has been described above. 
Note that the parameters and target areas of both flights were 
different, thus the data cannot be compared directly. 
7. FURTHER EXTENSION OF THE PROCESSING LINE

Subsequent to the photogrammetric processing line, many 
applications based on precise 3D and orthoimage data may 
follow. Current developments are addressing also the 
411 
automatization of frequently required related tasks such as the 
extraction of buildings in urban areas and data preparation for 
high-sophisticated visualization and animation processes. 
Examples are the integration of exterior vector information into 
the photogrammetric process in order to optimize the product 
charactristics for visualization (Figure 7; Scholten et. al, 2003b) 
and the automated enhancement/extraction of linear features, 
such as 3D building shapes, in combined ortho-image and DSM 
data sets (Mayer, 2004). 
CONCLUSIONS 
Airborne HRSC system operations and photogrammetric data 
processing has proven its feasibility with many applications. It 
has demonstrated that the demands on efficient data processing 
can be satisfied by means of automated processes combined with 
robust and accurate processing based on the multi-stereo 
capability owned by multi-line scanners. 
Parallel processing on large PC-clusters has been introduced as 
a feasible concept that enables handling of very large data sets 
and optimal utilization of hardware capacities. It can be a basis 
for more commercial applications in the near future. 
Nevertheless, there is still a need for additional tools to extend 
the product line (e.g. the extraction of linear features and 
derivation of 3D object shapes). : 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
