摘要：High and accelerating rates of the urban changes and the urban area growth especially in developing countries like Iran with more than 1000 cities calls for efficient and fast techniques for map production and revision with the required accuracy. The availability of the new generation of the commercial one-meter resolution satellite imageries have opened a new era heralding a promising future for producing and updating large scale digital maps. Although several investigations have already began in this area, still the subject demands more comprehensive tests for the determination of the suitability of such high resolution images for large scale map revisions. In this study the mapping potentials of the IKONOS images have been thoroughly examined in a test site in Iran. The test is conducted based on the following three-stage experimentation.
