Stellar distribution in the Galactic disc from NIR color-magnitude diagrams
We analyze the stellar distribution in the Galactic disc via NIR color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). Extinction measurements in the K band are also extracted from the diagrams both for supporting stellar counts predictions of the Besançon and "SKY" models and for comparing with a three dimensional model of the Galactic extinction. The method is based
