Evaluation of Insar Dem from High-resolution Spaceborne Sar Data

چکیده
In recent years a new generation of high-resolution SAR satellites became operational like the Canadian Radarsat-2, the Italian Cosmo/Skymed, and the German TerraSAR-X systems. The spatial resolution of such devices achieves the meter domain or even below. Key products derived from remote sensing imagery are Digital Elevation Models (DEM). Based on SAR data various techniques can be applied for such purpose, for example, Radargrammetry (i.e., SAR Stereo) and SAR Interferometry (InSAR). In the framework of the ISPRS Working Group VII/2 “SAR Interferometry” a long term scientific project is conducted that aims at the validation of DEM derived from data of modern SAR satellite sensors. In this paper, we present DEM results yield for the city of Barcelona which were generated by means of SAR Interferometry.

Dem Registration, Alignment and Evaluation for Sar Interferometry
To generate an accurate digital elevation model (DEM), Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) requires precise orbit data and baseline information, which are not always available. An alternative approach is to apply quality ground control points (GCPs) into the InSAR processing. However, locating high quality GCPs can also be difficult task, due to the low spatial resolution and radio...
متن کاملCan Radar Interferometry Address Commercial Applications?
This paper addresses a question often asked by industry: can radar interferometry (or InSAR or IFSAR) deliver services on a commercial and/or operational basis? To answer this question two systems based on InSAR for digital elevation model (DEM) generation are considered. One commercial system is the GeoSAR Xand P-band radar aerial mapping system from EarthData. The X-band can deliver digital s...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a microwave remote sensing sensor, which can be mounted either on spaceborne or airborne systems and allows night and day and all-weather imaging. Use of interferometric SAR systems (which consist of two SAR antennas pointing to the same area from slightly different view angles) allows the generation of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) by means of the so-called ...
