Tomo-GENESIS: DLR's tomographic SAR processing system

Abstract

Recently, several new algorithms for tomographic SAR inversion have been developed by DLR. These algorithms have been integrated into an efficient work flow: a system called Tomo-GENESIS. It consists of three main steps: pre-processing including APS estimation, tomographic processing and point cloud fusion. Final results over the test sites Las Vegas and Berlin are exemplified. 3D reconstructions of buildings are presented including their seasonal and linear deformations at resolution and coverage levels not possible so far.
