TECHNIQUE OF DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL CREATION USING RADAR SURVEY DATA FROM SATELLITE SENTINEL-1

Digital Terrain Models from Radar Interferometry

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a rapidly evolving technology for DTM generation. It exploits the coherent nature of SAR imaging to measure stereo parallaxes in the mm and cm regime from phase differences. InSAR systems are active microwave sensors; they operate independent of cloud cover and sun illumination. This paper reviews the basic principle and the properties of spac...

Digital elevation model generation from satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar

An accurate digital elevation model (DEM) is a critical data set for characterizing the natural landscape, monitoring natural hazards, and georeferencing satellite imagery. The ideal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) configuration for DEM production is a single-pass two-antenna system. Repeat-pass single-antenna satellite InSAR imagery, however, also can be used to produce useful...

Digital Terrain Model Data Structures

This paper describes pertinent digital terrain model data structures, namely, grid/raster, quadtree, and triangular irregular network. A basic concept of DIM data structure is also explained. The aspects of TIN storage, TIN data structure conversion, advantages and disadvantages of each structure are discussed. A complete data structure conversion program is also presented. n. 1.0 INTRODUCTION ...

Orthorectification and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Generation Using Cartosat-1 Satellite Stereo Pair in Himalayan Terrain

High resolution data have high relief displacement in hilly terrains. Development of Digital Elevation model helps to assess bio resources more accurately in such terrains. While estimating bio resources in the Himalayan hilly terrain using multispectral LISS-III data of 23 m spatial resolution, the need for orthorectifcation of satellite data was necessary to correct for spatial distances due ...
