stereo elevation:� An elevation surface derived from stereo pairs of remote sensing imagery.� For example the SPOT satellite can collect an �off nadir� image and then in a subsequent fly-over collect its counterpart to make a stereo pair.� The stereo elevation process takes the 3D effect of that stereo pair to derive an accurate raster object of elevation values.
