Question

Stereo triangulation?

Answer

SOCET SET inputs digital aerial photographs, taken in stereo (binocular) fashion, and from those photos it automatically generates a digital elevation model, digital feature (vector data), and orthorectified images (called Orthophotos). The output data is used by customers to create digital maps, and for mission planning and targeting purposes.
