ACKONWLEDGEMENTS 
The author would like to thank Dr. Nandakumar (ISRO and 
Secretary of ISPRS WG IV/9) for the establishment and 
coordination of the ISPRS-ISRO Cartosat-1 Scientific 
Assessment Programme (C-SAP) and the ISRO-ISPRS C-SAP 
Evaluation Team for selecting our Institute as Investigator. 
Many thanks are also addressed to Dr. Roland Gachet (IGN), 
Principal-Investigator of the Salon de Provence test site, for 
providing GCPs and reference MNT DBTOPO® DTM. 
Finally, the author whish to thank NASA for providing the 
SRTM DTM through their website.
