On the use of COSMO/SkyMed data and Weather Models for interferometric DEM generation

چکیده
This work experiments the potentialities of COSMO/SkyMed (CSK) data in providing interferometric Digital Elevation Model (DEM). We processed a stack of CSK data for measuring with meter accuracy the ground elevation on the available coherent targets, and used these values to check the accuracy of DEMs derived from 5 tandem-like CSK pairs. In order to suppress the atmospheric signal we experimented a classical spatial filtering of the differential phase as well as the use of numerical weather prediction (NWP) model RAMS. Tandem-like pairs with normal baselines higher than 300 m allows to derive DEMs fulfilling the HRTI Level 3 specifications on the relative vertical accuracy, while the use of NWP models still seems unfeasible especially for X-band.

Analyzing Terrasar-x and Cosmo-skymed High-resolution Sar Data of Urban Areas
The new high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite systems offer new possibilities for urban remote sensing. COSMOSkyMed and TerraSAR-X operate in X-band and both can deliver data with a spatial resolution of up to one meter. High-resolution SAR data is particularly useful for post-disaster damage assessment and monitoring, because SAR systems operate (almost) weather independent....

The availability of new high resolution radar spaceborne sensors offers new interesting potentialities for the acquisition of data useful for the generation of Digital Surface Models (DSMs). Two different methods may be used to generate DSMs from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data: the interferometric and the radargrammetric approach. It is well known that the two main steps for DSMs generatio...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is the only way to evaluate deformation of the Earth’s surface from space on the order of centimeters and millimeters due to its coherent nature and short wavelengths. Hence, by this means the long term risk monitoring and security are performed as precisely as possible. Traditional SAR imaging delivers a projection of the 3-D object to the two dimensional (2-D) a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Insar Dem from High-resolution Spaceborne Sar Data
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...
متن کاملAps Removal and Void Filling for Dem Reconstruction from High- Resolution Insar Data
The quality and accuracy of DEMs derived from repeatpass InSAR is limited by atmospheric phase screen (APS) difference and decorrelation between SAR images. In this paper, we show a compromising but effective approach to avoid DEM gaps and remove height errors induced by the atmosphere. Existing low resolution DEMs are used as external data to improve the quality of interferometric DEM. Our app...
