                         sensing was investigated for the Brazilian Amazon. The study area 
                         is in a region of low topographic terrain within the Tapajos 
                         National Forest. Two kinds of radargrammetric digital elevation 
                         models (DEMs), one based solely on satellite ancillary data and 
                         one calibrated with ground control points (GCPs), were produced 
                         based on a fine RADARSAT-1 stereopair (F2/F5) and evaluated 
                         regarding accurate field planialtimetric measurements. The 
                         geometric modeling for the DEM extractions was based on the 
                         RADARSAT-1 specific model from OESE software (PCI Geomatics Inc.). 
                         The planimetric features were extracted from integrated fine and 
                         Landsat thematic mapper (TM) products. Precise topographic field 
                         information from a differential global positioning system (DGPS) 
                         was used as GCPs for the modeling of the DEMs and for the 
                         orthorectification of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and 
                         optical data and as independent check points (ICPs) for the 
                         calculation of planialtimetric accuracies of the products. The 
                         investigation has shown that the accuracy of the topographic map 
                         met the requirements for a 1 : 100000 scale map (class A) as 
                         requested by the Brazilian Standard for Cartographic Accuracy. The 
                         approach is a realistic alternative for topographic mapping at a 
                         semi-detailed scale in similar environments of the Amazon, where 
                         terrain information is seldom available or is of low quality. ©
