Hello,
	Several years back I saw a couple postings arguing about methods for 
doing contour mapping (in cartography)? based on digitized photographs of
terrain from 2 different angles.
My coarse searches for info under image processing & cartography
met with failure, perhaps due to lack of correct terminology.
I apologize if I am using all the wrong names for this stuff.

1)	Does anyone have any references I can chase down that explians
	algorithms and theory of how this is done.

2)	Should there be any reason I cannot apply same to binocular 
	digitized photographs of any object.

3)	The article that sparked my renewed interest in this stuff was
	in _Scientific American_ (Sept '90): _Science and Business_: 
	_Anatomical Cartography_. pp 170.

Thanks for any help
