In this paper, a workflow is proposed to detect 3D building changes in urban and sub-urban areas using high-resolution stereoscopic satellite images of different epochs and a GIS database. Semi-global matching (SGM) is ...

Digital elevation models (DEM) are of fundamental importance for remote sensing. With a DEM the three-dimensional positioning, requiring a stereo model can be reduced to a two-dimensional solution just based on a single ...

The geometric changes of the surface (subsidence and horizontal displacement) caused by coal mining can be determined by photogrammetry with a sufficient accuracy. As long time stable targets sewer manholes can be used. ...

The monitoring of building activity (erection of new buildings, demolishing buildings and especially the change of building heights) by manual inspection of space and aerial images is time consuming and a source of errors. ...

Large area covering height models are dominantly based on optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) space imagery. The vertical accuracy of individual object points determined by automatic matching of optical imagery is ...

Area-based automatic image matching combined with a region-growing technique are able to provide a dense and accurate set of corresponding points. However, the region-growing process may stop at image patches where the ...

An image triplet of Pleiades images covering the area of Zonguldak, Turkey has been investigated. The height to base relation of the first to the last image is just 1:4.5 and for the first and the second image 1:9. This ...

Digital aerial cameras have replaced analogue aerial cameras in several countries. The development for operational aerial photogrammetry started with the line scan camera ADS40, followed by Z/I Imaging DMC and Vexcel Imaging ...

This special issue features a collection of ten contributions focusing on urban remote sensing applications. This special issue reflects the thematic diversity and variety of urban remote sensing applications and underlines ...

The so-called German camera evaluation project was initiated by the German society of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Geoinformation (DGPF) in order to allow for comprehensive empirical test on photogrammetric digital ...
