Comprehensive comparison of VHR 3D spatial data acquired from IKONOS and TerraSAR-X imagery

With the launch of very high resolution (VHR) optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing satellites such as IKONOS and TerraSAR-X, a new era has begun in 3D spatial data acquirement. IKONOS provided the first VHR data is still being preferred for many remote sensing applications. TerraSAR-X is considered as a revolution in SAR imaging as a result of 1 m resolution imaging capability. The imaging principles of these satellites are quite different and include advantages and disadvantages that have considerable effects on the quality of acquired 3D spatial data.     

在IKONOS卫星图像中快速获取地物高度的研究

在分析IKONOS卫星立体影像定位空间点方法的基础上,对传统方法进行合理简化并对实验数据进行分析,提出了一种快速获取人工地物高度信息的新方法.该方法避免了复杂的立体匹配过程,也不需要卫星内部参数信息,将此方法应用于卫星影像中典型地物如油罐高度的求取,结果真实可信.
