- Mike,
-
- I don't know if this is exactly what you had in mind but ...
-
- The USGS - EROS Data Center in Sioux Falls, SD can provide photos
- from the National Aerial Photography Program covering at least the
- 48 continental states. This includes color and B&W photos of
- different scales as well as other misc subjects. The point I am
- getting to here is that they take the aerial photos in a continuous
- strip and in the N-S direction they overlap by more than 50%, there-
- fore they can be viewed as stereo pairs of the overlapping area. I
- not sure I explained that well but you probably get the idea.
-
- Several years ago the B&W photos were quite reasonable, $6.00 each.
- Now if you meant that you wanted a pair of stereoptic pictures already
- digitized then you'll have to find a friend with a digitizer :). I
- would be interested to hear if you persue this idea.
