Hi.

Suppose I have a photograph of some mountain peaks, and I know where the
photograph was taken from, and I want to identify the peaks. Given SRTM
data and scanned topo maps of the region, how difficult would it be to
project what the skyline would look like from where the photographer
was, to aid in identification?

Any ideas about how to do this (preferably with free software) or
pointers to things to look at would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. For a little inspiration, here are a couple of photographs of peaks
in the Himalayas. :-)

(I know most of the peaks in the second picture, but I'm interested in
the general problem more than identifying these specific peaks.)
