Abstract
It is possible to apply the stereography with optical angles from 6.5°to 8.5°to the area where was taken pictures of a couple of neighboring LANDSAT MSS imageries. In Japan, the stereographic coverage of LANDSAT 2-3 is 65 % on the northern part and 45% on the southern part, while that of LANDSAT 4-5 is 45 % and 30%, respectively. The other areas can be also viewed stereographically by a pair of LANDSAT 2-3 and LANDSAT 4-5 MSS imageries. In this case, optical angles vary from 0.8°to 5.6°in accordance with a mode of covering. The stereography of LANDSAT scenes has been applied to the stratigraphic analysis of Kirishima volcanoes, where the exploration for geothermal resources is being carried out actively. The result indicates that the stereography of LANDSAT MSS imageries is very useful to understand the surface geology, which is important, though not main, for the exploration.
