Abstract
The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) was launched on January 24th, 2006 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in a Sun-synchronous orbit. It carries three remote sensing instruments: Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type-2 (AVNIR-2), Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) and Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR). The PRISM sensor consists of three sets of telescopes for forward, nadir and backward viewing with each telescope providing 2.5 metre spatial resolution. These specifications facilitate generation of precise Digital Surface Models (DSMs) with accuracy sufficient for 1:25 000 scale maps. Geoscience Australia (GA) has been acquiring ALOS data since early 2006 and holds an extensive archive of PRISM images over Australia and New Zealand that are suitable for DSMs generation
