  • Abstract
    DEM generation is a living R&D topic since new-launched satellite images can be used to generate stereoscopic images. Using a coplanarity equation model developed at CCRS and an automatic matching method developed at PCI, DEMs are generated with new VIR stereo data. Accuracy of 4.9 m with high-resolution IKONOS images, and 33 m and 101 m with medium-resolution ASTER and Landsat-7 ETM+ images respectively are obtained. The same matching accuracy of one-pixel is translated into worse results with Landsat due to a small B/H ratio of 0.15
