ZAVALA, Patricio  y  ZAVALA, Carlos. USO DE IMÁGENES SATELITALES DE ALTA RESOLUCIÓN PARA GENERAR CARTOGRAFÍA. Rev. Fac. Ing. - Univ. Tarapacá [online]. 2002, vol.10, pp.35-43. ISSN 0718-1337.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-13372002001000005.

This paper describes the methodology used, to generate building height cartography, through the analysis of high resolution satellite images of the city of Arica, in northren Chile. Calculations were made using shadow lengths, derived from different constructions, and from the solar azimuth of an IRS image 1C, that was processed by cubic convolution at 5 meters. This research project is based on the development of the doctoral thesis of one of the authors (1), related to the analysis of seismic vulnerability using Geografical Information System (G.I.S) technology and remote sensing techniques. The results of this project will yield cartography, that we hope will be useful for urban territorial management.

Palabras clave : Remote sensing; G.I.S.; buildings.
