Geographers have always been interested in acquisition of three-dimensional geographical information on a study area by means of satellite images. Many of the current and future image acquiring satellites are, and will be, capable of performing stereo imaging of the Earth surface. This is the reason to train the geography students for stereoscopic measurements which are computer-based nowadays. A number of digital photogrammetric systems (such as PHOTOMOD of Racurs company or Image Station of Intergraph company) that are on the market now provide the technology for compilation and update of topographical maps with the use of aerial and satellite images. However, these universal systems do not take into account the special features of the photogrammetric use of the imagery in geographic and geologic research, they are difficult to understand and expensive. Therefore they are not really applicable for education in natural science departments of universities. Digital photogrammetric systems, specially designed for educational purposes, which are comprehensible and at a reasonable price are used at the Faculty of Geography of the Moscow State University in the aerial and satellite images stereo measurements training course. The two main systems are the computer-based stereocomparator supporting visual stereo measurements at the monitor of a personal computer and the research stereo correlation utility for automated measurements of the aerial and satellite images for digital elevation models construction. The two practical exercises from the special computer-based stereo measurements training course are presented as an example.
