Dem Generation from Very High Resolution Stereo Data in Urban Areas

چکیده
In this article an attempt for improving an existing method creating DEMs fully automatically from stereoscopic image pairs is presented. Results applying this method to very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery is shown. The herein discussed “column” algorithm is illustrated in brief and compared to a conventional algorithm frequently used in generating DEMs from satellite line scanner data. The presented algorithm is producing DEMs with an improved matching of steep objects as can be found in urban satellite imagery but introduces also some blunders in the generated DEMs.

Refinement of Urban Digital Elevation Models from Very High Resolution Stereo Satellite Images
Digital elevation models (DEM) of high resolution and high quality are required for many applications like urban modeling, readiness for catastrophes or disaster assessment. A good source for the derivation of such DEMs from any place in the world are very high resolution (VHR) satellite stereo images as provided e.g. by Ikonos, QuickBird or WorldView. In this paper a method for the generation ...

This paper reports experiments carried out for automated extraction of a digital elevation model (DEM) from satellite images. In particular, this paper focuses on DEM extraction from dense urban areas where there are occlusions, shadow and height discontinuities. These properties have been known to create many problems in stereo matching and for automated DEM extraction. Using satellite images ...
متن کاملVery High Resolution Parametric and Non- Parametric Sartomography Methods for Monitoring Urban Areas Structures
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...
