Feature Mapping in a Photogrammetric GIS

Abstract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) has assembled a Terrain Information Extraction System (TIES). The TIES uses photogrammetric Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for digital image-based mapping (Brown, 1991). The TIES is a modular system for generating digital terrain data (Desmond, Edwards, 1990). Components of the TIES exchange Digital Topographic Data (DTD) by a Feature Map Exchange Format (FMEF). The TIES-FMEF is described. Feature mapping, Photogrammetric GIS, Digital terrain data, Digital stereo image-based mapping, Feature map exchange format.
