Abstract:
The building height estimation of urban environments is a challenging problem for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). SAR Tomography (TomoSAR) conducts a series of acquisitions to realize a 3D reconstruction. Classical 3D focusing algorithms’ performance tends to be affected by the limited number of acquisitions, and the uneven baselines. Inspired by the advanced performance of TSNN on forest height estimation, in this study, we apply TSNN to reconstruct building height and we compare the obtained results with a classical Tomography approach. The experimental results are based on the data acquired by the DLR’s ESAR sensor at L-band over Dresden, Germany. The results illustrate the possibility of using the deep learning-based approach for building height estimation on urban environments.
