Abstract
Many researchers have delimited objects' heights, mainly heights of th e Earth surface for topographic mapping or digital elevation model (DE M), with SPOT-images by using stereo observe-systems. In this paper, w e try to delimit buildings' heights from the shadow in a panchromatic SPOT-image. The heights of 42 buildings are calculated with this metho d and checked. The root-mean-square error is 3.69 m. A main inference comes from the blocked shadows.
