Abstract :
This paper addresses the evaluation of the digital elevation model (DEM) generated by single pass SAR interferometry using an X-band airborne SAR (Pi-SAR2). In this paper we describe the evaluation experiments by using corner reflectors and show the result of the height accuracy on DEM by the cross-track interferometric function of Pi-SAR2.
