Este trabalho avalia a adequação do uso de modelos digitais de elevação, provenientes da manipulação de dados altimétricos da missão SRTM e do instrumento imageador ASTER, para atualização de mapas da rede de drenagem do município de Renascença PR. Para caracterização da rede de drenagem a partir de dados SRTM e ASTER utilizou-se o software SPRING 5.1.7. A rede hidrográfica, obtida por esses dois métodos foi cruzada com a malha hidrográfica extraída de cartas geográficas do exército e imagens ortorretificadas do satélite SPOT 5. Os resultados demonstram que a rede de drenagem, obtida a partir de dados SRTM e ASTER, não é satisfatória por não determinar a grande maioria dos cursos d’água de primeira e segunda ordens. Já os de terceira, quarta e quinta ordens, que são identificados, na grande maioria estão localizados fora do curso real encontrados pelas cartas do exército e imagens ortorretificadas. Os dados demonstram que a vegetação das matas ciliares são captadas pelo SRTM e ASTER e interferem nas variações de altitude e por conseguinte no mau delineamento das redes de drenagem.Palavras chaves – Rede de drenagem; hidrografia; modelos digitais de elevação; SRTM, ASTER.  Use of Digital Elevation Model Generated from the SRTM and ASTER GDEM for Characterization of Drainage  ABSTRACTThis paper assesses the suitability of using digital elevation models, resulting from manipulation of altimetric mission SRTM and ASTER instrument, to update maps of the drainage network in the municipality of Renaissance PR. To characterize the drainage network from SRTM and ASTER data used the software SPRING 5.1.7. The hydrographic network, obtained by these two methods was crossed with a mesh extracted from hydrographic maps of the army and orthorectified images of the SPOT 5 satellite. The results show that the drainage system, derived from SRTM and ASTER data is not satisfactory because they do not determine the vast majority of streams of first and second orders. Already the third, fourth and fifth orders, which are identified in the vast majority are located outside the actual course of the letters found by the army and orthorectified images. The data show that the riparian vegetation are acquired by SRTM and ASTER and interfere with the variations in altitude and therefore the bad design of drainage networks. Keywords - Drainage network; hydrography; digital elevation models; SRTM; ASTER GDEM.

Abstract The contribution deals with the evaluation of the quality of geographic information in accordance with the ISO standards from the family of ISO 19100. The quality assessment was carried out on a sample of the data of the digital elevation model of the Slovak republic - DMR3. The selected data quality elements and sub-elements were evaluated using measures defined in the INSPIRE data specification for Elevation.

To use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for obtaining digital elevation models (DEM) and digital terrain models (DTM) is currently actively practiced in scientific and practical purposes. This technology has many advantages: efficiency, ease of use, and the possibility of application on relatively small area. This allows us to perform qualitative and quantitative studies of the progress of dangerous relief-forming processes and to assess their consequences quickly. In this paper, we describe the process of obtaining a digital elevation model (DEM) of the relief of the slope located on the bank of the Protva River (Satino training site of the Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University). To obtain the digital elevation model, we created a temporary geodetic network. The coordinates of the points were measured by the satellite positioning method using a highprecision mobile complex. The aerial survey was carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle from a low altitude (about 40–45 m). The processing of survey materials was performed via automatic photogrammetry (Structure-from-Motion method), and the digital elevation model of the landslide surface on the Protva River valley section was created. Remote sensing was supplemented by studying archival materials of aerial photography, as well as field survey conducted immediately after the landslide. The total amount of research results made it possible to establish the causes and character of the landslide process on the study site. According to the geomorphological conditions of formation, the landslide refers to a variety of landslideslides, which are formed when water is saturated with loose deposits. The landslide body was formed with the "collapse" of the blocks of turf and deluvial loams and their "destruction" as they shifted and accumulated at the foot of the slope.
