This technique allows to identify surfaces by assuming they can be locally described by a piecewise planar model. It is therefore suitable to reconstruct man-made structures in urban areas. Our approach takes advantage of the spatial connectivity of points from tomographic height maps in order to retrieve planar patches from noise corrupted point clouds. We demonstrate how our method outperforms the well-known RANSAC algorithm over synthetic and experimental data.","PeriodicalId":370707,"journal":{"name":"Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event 2013","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121081751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addition of a few TanDEM-X data pairs (which are free from displacement, atmosphere and temporal decorrelation) to the existing TerraSAR-X data stack can improve the results of stacking techniques such as Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI). However, in dense urban areas, geometrical limitations such as layover make it difficult for an accurate mapping using the standard TanDEM-X elevation models. In this paper, we investigate the potential of jointly processing TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X data for resolving single or double scattering mechanisms present in the same resolution cell.

Within this manuscript two recently proposed statistical multichannel phase unwrapping methods are considered and compared.

This paper provides a detailed comparison among the results of different methodologies and with respect to independent extractions, both visually and by means of quantitative accuracy indexes. Considering the global coverage, multitemporal ASAR WSM data are quite promising for urban monitoring, but its coarser spatial resolution makes it more suitable for larger human settlements.","PeriodicalId":370707,"journal":{"name":"Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event 2013","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128892480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
