Abstract
In this study we applied a DEM generation algorithm developed in-house to satellite images at various resolution and discussed the results. We tested SPOT images at l0m resolution, EOC images at 6.6m and IKONOS images at 1m resolution. These images include the same urban area in Daejeon city. For camera model, we used Gupta & Hartley's(1997) DLT model for all three image sets. We carried out accuracy assessment using USGS DTED for SPOT and EOC and 23 check points for IKONOS. The assessment showed that SPOT DEM had about 38m RMS error, EOC DEM 12m RMS error and IKONOS DEM 6.5m RMS error. In terms of image resolution, SPOT and EOC DEM error corresponds to 2∼4 pixels where as IKONOS DEM error 6∼7pixels. IKONOS DEM contains more errors in pixels. However, in IKONOS DEM, individual buildings, apartments and major roads are identifiable. All three DEMs contained errors due to height discontinuity, occlusion and shadow. These experiments show that our algorithm can generate urban DEM from 1m resolution and that, however, we need to improve the algorithm to minimize effects of occlusion and building shadows on DEMs.
