Optical and Radar Data Fusion for Dem Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a DEM generation procedure based on optical (SPOT stereo) and radar (InSAR, interferometric SAR) data. The first part of the paper is focused on InSAR. The second one is concerned with the integration of optical and radar data. Two levels of integration are proposed: the SPOT data can support the InSAR procedure (in particular phase unwrapping) and the SPOT and InSAR data can be fused to perform a joint estimation of the terrain surface.

With the launch of the recent high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite missions, e.g., TerraSAR-X, RadarSAT-2, and CosmoSkymed, the technique of radargrammetry motivates interest again to potentially improve upon the level of detail and accuracy of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from a global coverage perspective as an alternative to data derived from Interferometric SAR (IFSAR)...
متن کاملFusion of Optical and InSAR DEMs: Improving the Quality of Free Data
An approach to DEM fusion was developed to improve the overall accuracy of DEMs and applied to two public products: Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) DEM and Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection (ASTER) DEM. The relative ASTER DEM was co-registered to the SRTM coordinates and converted to the near absolute DEM by shifting the histogram to the average elevation of the SRTM ...
