Creating Digitial Elevation Models and Orthoimages from ASTER Imagery
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this tutorial is to show how to easily create a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and orthorectified image from free ASTER satellite imagery. PCI Geomatica OrthoEngine is the software package used to perform the processing. The imagery used in this tutorial is from Southern Scotland, around Loch Doon in the United Kingdom. These web sites provide contextual pictures of the area….

Hydrologic land cover classification mapping at local level with the combined use of ASTER multispectral imagery and GPS measurements
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and land cover products are primary inputs for hydrologic models of surface runoff that affects infiltration, erosion, and evapotranspiration. DEM and land cover play important role in determining the runoff characteristics of specific catchment areas. Recently, at local level, a number of data sources have been used to derive land cover products for high resolut...
متن کاملHigh resolution 3D terrain mapping with low altitude imagery
This paper presents an approach to build a very high resolution digitial terrain model with the imagery provided by a stereovision bench mounted on-board a balloon flying at low altitude. The approach is a “simultaneous localization and mapping” procedure, that enables to build a spatially consistent map, by allowing to recover the balloon position with a very high accuracy: only imagery is use...
متن کاملGlacier Monitoring from Aster Imagery: Accuracy and Applications
The optical sensor ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) on board the Terra satellite offers new possibilities for worldwide glacier monitoring. In this paper, its capability and accuracy for selected glaciological applications is evaluated. (a) ASTER’s along-track stereo sensor allows for photogrammetric DEM generation. Here, we apply PCI Geomatica Orthoengine ...

متن کاملComparison of Different Mathematical Models on the Accuracy of the Orthorectification of Aster Imagery
The accuracy assessments of the orthorectification of ASTER imagery carried out using twelve different mathematical models are presented. For performing the orthorectification, 77 ground control points (GCPs) and a digital elevation model (DEM) generated from stereo ASTER images were utilized. The mathematical models used include two rigorous and ten simple geometric models. Among the twelve mo...
