The experience of the joint processing of photographic
and radio-thermal images of terrain has revealed high re
liability of the obtained results and confirmed the avail
ability of rich information on other invisible phenomena.
Even today the development of optimal procedures for ex
tracting this information, including that contained in
the aerospace photographs of the visible and infrared
ranges is a most topical problem.
