<Data_Identification_Abstract xml:space="preserve">The primary mission goal of CARTOSAT-1 is to generate a current, accurate and nationally consistent Digital Elevation Model (DEM) throughout the country to facilitate the user communities of remote sensing and cartography. It is anticipated that the DEM will be useful in providing an elevation reference of the existing topographic conditions. In the GIS environment, DEM will provide a terrain model to facilitate drainage network analysis, watershed demarcation, erosion mapping, contour generation and quantitative analysis like volume-area calculation. DEM will enable generation of ortho-rectified images which can be used as raster maps to define and demarcate features such as land use, topography, roads, rivers, water-bodies etc. They may also be used to establish accurate geographic locations of features and make measurements. Other applications of DEM and Ortho-image include scene simulation and fly through visualization for appreciation of terrain relief.</Data_Identification_Abstract>
