Abstract

The results, obtained with the stellar population synthesis technique, are summarized for galactic structure and stellar population studies of our Galaxy. Emphasis is put on the analysis (extinction, disc structure, bar population) of the OGLE colour-magnitude diagram from Baade's Window.
