Remote sensing can be used for various applications.  In this case the SPOT satellite system is used for vegetation monitoring that include other applications as well. The main focus of this website is how the SPOT satellites are used for agricultural applications using VEGETATION .

One example of an application that SPOT is used for is the acquisition of "stereo-imagery", which digital elevation models can be derived from.  Below is an example of SPOT imagery laid over a digital elevation model (3D).
