A Radargrammetric Approach for Spaceborne Transmitter-Stationary Receiver Bistatic SAR

Kurzfassung

This paper addresses the feasibility of exploiting a radargrammetric procedure for the retrieval of height estimates using stereo images acquired in a space-surface (spaceborne transmitter-stationary receiver) bistatic geometry. Currently, the research interest concerning this particular direction is still in its infancy, as there are very few papers partially covering the subject. The method proposed in this study is applied to a set of SAR images (displaying an urban area of the Bucharest city) in order to assess the elevation of a group of selected targets within the remotely sensed zone.
