Digital modeling Tuyuksu glacier The first work on the creation of digital terrain models belong to the
first half of the 60ies of XX century – the stage of development of auto
mated cartography and geoinformatics. Since then, the development of
methods and ways to solve different problems, created by software simula
tion, gained experience in dealing with them through a variety of scientific
and applied problems.
Among a variety of data sources for modeling terrain special role
of mass sources belongs to the maps and space images. With regard
to remote sensing – satellite images, their role for various reasons, will
continue to grow, while the share and role of the card – to decline.
This technological and technical reasons: increase the spatial resolu
tion satellite imagery of scanner systems, widely available and rela
tively inexpensive digital photogrammetric stations, including the
personal computer platform, the processing of radiometric data.
The article presents an attempt to build a digital model of the glacier
Tuyuksu, one of the most important glaciers of the TransIli Alatau, based
on satellite imagery with SAS Planet and using Surfer 11 program
Key words : relief, digital modeling, map, satellite imagery, cartogra
phy, computer simulation.
