چکیده

The improved ground resolution of state-of-the-art synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors suggests utilizing this technique for analysis of urban areas. However, building reconstruction from SAR or InSAR data suffers from consequences of the inherent oblique scene illumination, such as foreshortening, layover, occlusion by radar shadow and multipath signal propagation. Especially in built-up areas, building reconstruction is often hardly possible based on single SAR or InSAR data sets alone. An approach is presented to improve the reconstruction quality combining multiaspect InSAR data. Building object primitives are extracted independently for two directions from the magnitude and phase information of the interferometric data. After projection of these initial primitive objects from slant range into the world coordinate system they are fused. This set of primitive objects is used to generate building hypotheses. SAR illumination effects are discussed using real and simulated data. The simulation results have been compared with real imagery. Deviations between simulations and real data were the base for further investigations. The approach is demonstrated for two InSAR data sets of a building group in an urban environment, which have been taken from orthogonal viewing directions with spatial resolution of about 30 cm.

Detecting and analysing "urban villages" in the Pearl River delta using multi-source remote sensing data

‘Urban villages’ is the Chinese version of informal settlement. It is a unique phenomenon that comprises mainly low-rise and congested, often illegal buildings surrounded by new constructions and high-rise buildings. Due to a lack of an unambiguous definition allowing for a spatial delineation of such areas, this article investigates a joint use of high-resolution optical and SAR satellite data...

Urban Building Detection from Optical and Insar Features Exploiting Context

We investigate the potential of combined features of aerial images and high-resolution interferometric SAR (InSAR) data for building detection in urban areas. It is shown that completeness and correctness may be increased if we integrate both InSAR double-bounce lines and 3D lines of stereo data in addition to building hints of a single optical orthophoto. In order to exploit context informatio...

Building Reconstruction from Insar Data by Detail Analysis of Phase Profiles

The improved ground resolution of state-of-the-art synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors suggests utilizing SAR data for the analysis of urban scenes. In high resolution SAR data of built-up areas, especially bright lines are a distinctive building feature. They are often caused by double reflection between ground and building wall.The appearance of such features depends on the illumination ge...

Very 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...
