Dataset Information

This dataset contains a ~50 km long section of the Karkara range front fault at the boundary of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The point cloud data were derived via photogrammetric methods by Leica Photogrammetry Suite built in ERDAS Imagine from data acquired by Airbus Defence and Space (Pleiades stereo optical imagery)
