An Accuracy Assessment of Cartosat-1 Stereo Image Data-Derived Digital Elevation Models: A Case Study of the Drum Mountains, Utah
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study evaluates the accuracy of digital elevation models (DEMs) produced from Cartosat-1 data. The Cartosat-1 satellite, launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in May 2005, carries two panchromatic cameras capable of acquiring stereoscopic data along the orbital track. These data provide the potential to produce high-quality DEMs for virtually any location on the Earth’s surface. Cartosat-1 DEMs produced for the Drum Mountains study site in west-central Utah are compared to a number of reference data sets. The vertical accuracy is compared against NED, ASTER, and SRTM DEMs. The horizontal accuracy is compared with the Digital Orthophoto Quad data. Cartosat-1 DEMs compare quite well with the most accurate reference DEMs. * Work performed under U.S. Geological Survey Contract 08HQCN0005

In the frame of the ISPRS-ISRO Cartosat-1 Scientific Assessment Programme (C-SAP) the orientation of 3 stereo scenes has been computed by bias corrected RPC-solution. The generation of digital elevation models (DEMs) followed by least squares matching. An analysis of the DEMs against reference DEMs showed sub-pixel accuracy of the height values as x-parallax.
متن کاملDigital Height Models by Cartosat-1
By the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) a nearly world wide height model has been generated, which is available free of charge. The mayor limitation of this height model is the point spacing of 3arcsec, corresponding to approximately 92m at the equator. From the very high resolution space sensors like IKONOS, QuickBird and OrbView-3 only a limited number of stereo combinations, taken fro...

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 ...
