7. Conclusion
We developed a system to make JERS-1 simulation stereoscopic
images from photographs. Using this system, we produced JERS-1
simulation stereoscopic images of the Izu peninsula in Japan
from an LFC photograph taken from the space shuttle. From the
evaluation of these stereoscopic images, it is confirmed that
the stereoscopic images of JERS-1 produce fine stereoscopic
vision with acceptable vertical exaggeration, and the ground
resolution of JERS-1 is more than acceptable to extract terrain
features of the earth's surface.
We carried out some experiments to investigate the usefulness
of these images. One of them was lineament extraction from
four stereoscopic images with different base-to-height ratios.
From these experiments we found that JERS-1 stereoscopic images
are very useful to explore earth resources.
But our work has not been sufficient to investigate all the
possible applications of JERS-1 stereoscopic images. We hope
that many other investigations of JERS-1 stereoscopic images
are executed and many application fields of these images are
developed.
