Figure 13. An artificial stereoscopic pair — right image 
Some pixels do not have a radiometric value in the new 
images. This lack of information is duc to prospective 
reasons: if the centre of the projection changes, some areas 
that were previously hidden in the original image could 
become visible in one of the two new images, but no 
information is available on these areas. In this case, the 
"holes" have to be represented as lack of information, for 
example in white, as there is no reason to carry out an 
interpolation process on these areas. 
4. CONCLUSIONS 
The Solid Image opens the way to a series of new products in 
the architectonic field and in the surveying of portions of the 
territory. A Solid Image easily allows: 
e  Dctermination, in real time, of the 3D position of 
any point in the image, using a simple PC; 
e. correct 3D measurements (lines, areas, volumes, 
angles, etc.) by only selecting some points of the 
image; 
e extraction of profiles, sections, and planes using 
simple drawing functions on the image, even by 
inexperienced users; 
e in general, the high quality colour images to be 
integrated with the 3D geometry of each pixel of 
the photograph. 
A series of new applications of the Solid Image can be 
foreseen for various application fields.

The idea of the Solid Image was first presented at the “last 
minute poster" —CIPA Annual Meeting — ISPRS Comm. V — 
Corfu Greece - September 2002 
The first results and applications were presented at the ISPRS 
international meeting com. V — Ancona, Italy 01-03 July, 
2003 and at the CIPA 2003 XIX" Symposium — Antalya, 
Turkey 30 September - 04 October 2003. 
This research is part of the activity financed by the Ministry 
of Education, University and Research (MIUR) and concerns
