ALOS Viewer
RESTEC has developed The ALOS viewer. You can download it below.
This viewer's functions are not only to display the pictire but to measure distance and area, and to show the range of the picutre on the map.

ALOS Viewer (ZIP file:7.62MB)

* This viewer cannot read direct ALOS data from the media such as CD-ROMs.
You should move ALOS data to your PC and use this viewer.

Important Notes
*All the DSM products are offered on demand basis. Please check the PRISM imageries to be used for generating DSM with CROSS before you place the order for the product. Depending on the quality of imageries (cloud, snow and etc.), RESTEC might not be able to take your order.
*Depending on the conditions or features of the land such as rivers, lakes and rice fields, where matching of imageries is difficult, there are the cases RESTEC can not guarantee the geometric accuracy.
