| Abstract | The purpose of the stereo-radargrammetric process consists in the extraction of spatial information from stereo synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The accuracy of this process depends on the values
of parallax, which is the subject of the stereo pair configuration, and the accuracy in determining parallax. The goal of this work is to evaluate the effect of subpixel image matching in determining parallax for stereo-radargrammetry. To determine
parallax a subpixel matching algorithm based on the phase correlation method was developed. This method calculates image cross-correlation in the Fourier domain. Upsampling a discrete Fourier transform achieves subpixel accuracy in cross-correlation
peak localization without increased computational cost. A hierarchical multi-resolution approach allows the usage of a windowing algorithm to determine parallax for every image pixel. The developed algorithm was applied to Radarsat-2 data of Fine
Quad (FQ) mode (5.2 x 7.6m resolution). First, we simulated a set of SAR images corresponding to various Radarsat-2 beams between FQ5 (25°) and FQ18 (38°). The experimental results with simulated images show that a decrease in intersection angle
leads to an increase in matching accuracy up to 1/20 of a pixel. Second, the algorithm was applied for matching the real stereo pair FQ5 and FQ18. To validate the matching results a digital surface model was extracted and compared with accurate lidar
data. The analysis of the mutual dependence of matching accuracy and stereo pair configurations shows that the application of sub-pixel matching allows us to make the radargrammetric process flexible in the choice of stereo pairs. |
