Hi,

Does anyone have suggestions as to how one might convert the U.S.G.S "Urban Areas High 
Resolution Orthoimagery"
product to a format that has a height associated with each pixel? In particular, I was 
hoping that someone might be
able to recommend a textbook or documents (along with software tools) that would allow 
one to perform a conversion
to a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Land Use Cover (LUC) files? I was considering 
the possibility of using the
method described for converting Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images to a DEM 
(http://www.asf.alaska.edu/apd/software/tutorial/dem_generation.htmlbut) did not know 
how USGS
acquired their base data for the High Resolution Orthoimagery files and whether there 
were two files required to
perform the conversion. Best regards,
