  DTM Generation and Avalanche Hazard Mapping using Large Format Digital Photogrammetric Data and Geomatics Technique

  By Snehmani ., Mritunjay Kumar Singh, R. D. Gupta, A. Ganju

  Abstract: The main objective of the study is Digital Terrain Model (DTM) generation from aerial photogrammetric data and identify and map the potential avalanche prone zones in Manali region. Avalanche is a dynamic hazardous phenomenon in the snow-bound mountainous terrain. Mapping of avalanche prone terrain is crucial to minimize the avalanche hazard. Nowadays, airborne data capturing technology, such as large-format Photogrammetry, has opened new vistas for the mapping of complex and …
