 [5297] Topographic Mapping
Title 
TOPOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENT
» Study areas
Study Areas
Executive Summary
The main objectives will include: 'DEM generation combining different frequencies SAR data 'DEM generation facilitated by Permanent Scatterer InSAR Technique in mountainous areas 'Landslide analysis & monitoring 'Partially coherent targets analysis in urban and non-urban areas The scientific investigations will focus on the application on topographic mapping and earth deformation monitoring by Envisat/ASAR, ALOS/PALSAR and HJ-1-C data sets. SAR data pose the evident potential in this field because there is large area in China covered with cloud and mist through the year. InSAR data gives researchers a new set of tools to measure topography, tiny shifts and deformations on the Earth's surface, valuable in the study of landslides, urban subsidence, earthquakes, floods and other natural cataclysms in China. This proposal will respond to the ESA mission objectives in following aspects * Evaluating the capability of different frequencies SAR data in generating DEM and monitoring the earth deformation; * Investigation of the DEM generation combining different frequencies SAR data; * Development of relevant algorithms and data processing procedures. * Cost-benefit analysis for Technology Transfer from European partner to Chinese partner to speed up the technical diffusing in China and explore the applications of ESA data in topographic measurement..
