Title: Photogrammetry + Imagine for Windows (1024 x 1024 pixels, 24-bit color, Jpeg format wit 50% compression)
This is a good example of a serious scientific use of Imagine. The Image I Submit is a creation of a highly uneven terrain zone of Spain, Known as Picos de Europa. They are one of the more mountainous zones of Europe. For making the rendering I used: 1-A photograph of an Sky, and inserted the moon image with photostyler. Then I wrapped the image to a sphere to make a 3D sky, so I can animate the sequence. (currently it´s an image of an animation of 600 images aprox: 40 seconds in avi at 8 images p.s.) 2-Several aerial Photographs of the zone, which I coloured using paint and GIS programs 3-I made my self a DEM of the zone at 30 m resolution. 4-This is the hardest part of process: I made an orthophotograph of the Aerial photographs. (Currently, in the U.S. you have a lot of this, but in Europe they doesn't exist of all zones) 5-I wrapped the orthophoto to the DEM iob in imagine. This is the result. The hardest part is to make the DEM (I studied geodesy, so I know how to make a DEM with good precision, which can be used for other calculations) and to make the orthophoto, which is a long process of Knowing Photogrammetry (In a lot af GIS programs you have this facility)
