The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model as an alternative data source for deriving hydrological characteristics in lowland catchment — Rogożynek catchment case study This paper describes possibility of supplementing digital topography data needed for hydrologic modeling (WetSpa model) of lowland catchment with existing, freely available DEM data obtained from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission launched on February 11th, 2000. Rogożynek basin (Upper Biebrza) as case study is given. Authors compared three DEMs: topographic — TOPO DEM 20 (20 m resolution), radar — SRTM DEM 90 (90 m res.) and resampled radar — SRTM DEM 20 (20 m res.). There were several characteristics compared and analyzed like: relative height differences, slopes, generated river network and generated subwatersheds (subbasins).

Abstract. A suite of 42 geomorphometric parameters for each of 26 272 drainage basins larger than 100 km2 from the Hydrosheds Shuttle Radar Topography digital elevation model shows the global distribution of Strahler order for streams and drainage basins; the largest basins are order 9. Many common parameters depend both on the size of the basin, and the scale of the digital elevation model used for the computations. These drainage basins display the typical longitudinal stream profiles, but the major basins tend to be more convex than the smaller basins.

Abstract The TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement (TanDEM-X) mission launched in 2010 is another programme – after the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) in 2000 – that uses space-borne radar interferometry to build a global digital surface model. This article presents the accuracy assessment of the TanDEM-X intermediate Digital Elevation Model (IDEM) provided by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) under the project “Accuracy assessment of a Digital Elevation Model based on TanDEM-X data” for the southwestern territory of Poland. The study area included: open terrain, urban terrain and forested terrain. Based on a set of 17,498 reference points acquired by airborne laser scanning, the mean errors of average heights and standard deviations were calculated for areas with a terrain slope below 2 degrees, between 2 and 6 degrees and above 6 degrees. The absolute accuracy of the IDEM data for the analysed area, expressed as a root mean square error (Total RMSE), was 0.77 m.

Abstract. A suite of 42 morphometric parameters for each of 26 272 drainage basins larger than 100 km2 from the Hydrosheds Shuttle Radar Topography digital elevation model shows the global distribution of Strahler order for streams and drainage basins. At the scale of 15 arc s spacing (232 to 464 m) the largest basins are order 9. Many common parameters depend both on the size of the basin, and the scale of the digital elevation model used for the computations. These drainage basins display the typical longitudinal stream profiles, but the major basins tend to be generally more concave than the smaller basins.

Tujuan dari studi pendahuluan ini untuk mengetahui karakteristik medan yang ada di sebagian daerah Sumatera Selatan melalui analisis medan dengan pembuatan sekuen medan yang berbasis citra penginderaan jauh. Citra Landsat 8 digunakan untuk mendapatkan informasi tutupan lahan dan bentuk lahan. Citra SRTM (<em>Shuttle Radar Topography Mission</em>) digunakan untuk menghasilkan data DEM (<em>Digital Elevation Model</em>), <em>h</em><em>illshade</em>, dan <em>s</em><em>lope</em> yang selanjutnya diturunkan menjadi peta topografi. Peta Geologi digunakan untuk menurunkan informasi mengenai jenis tanah. Peta arah aliran dan akumulasi air digunakan untuk menurunkan informasi kondisi drainase. Selanjutnya semua peta di<em>overlay</em> dan digunakan untuk menarik garis sekuen medan sebagai dasar identifikasi karakteristik medan. Berdasarkan hasil studi pendahuluan ini, dapat dikenali bahwa karakteristik medan sebagian Sumatera Selatan berbentuk lahan vulkanik, struktural dan fluvial dengan proses geomorfologi berupa erosi vertikal, transportasi, deposisi, dan sedimentasi. Aplikasi Penginderaan Jauh dan SIG dengan metode sekuen medan dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui karakteristik medan suatu wilayah.</p><p><em><br /></em></p>

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a source to produce contour map, slope, and aspect information, which is needed for other information such as disaster and water resources management. DEM can be generated by several methods. One of them is parallax calculations from stereoscopic data of optical sensor. Panchromatic Remote-Sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) sensor from Advanced LAnd Observation Satellite (ALOS) satellite and advance space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) sensor from Terra Satellite is Japanese optical satellite sensor which have abilityto produce stereoscopic data. This study showed DEM generations from PRISM (2.5 m spatial resolution) and ASTER (15m spatial resolution) stereoscopic data using image matching and collinear model based on Orthobase-pro software. The Generated DEM from each sensor was compared to the DEM from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) X-C band with 30 m spatial resolution. The dependent on the pixel size from the DEM produced were also discussed. The result showed that both DEMs have similiar elevation and distribution pattern to the referenced DEM, but DEM for PRISM had higher relative accuracy (RMSE is 6.5 m) and Smoother pattern comparing to DEM from ASTER (RMSE is 10.2 m) Keyword : ASTER, DEM, PRISM, SRTM, Stereoscopic satellite data

This study aims to estimate the accuracy of digital elevation models (DEM) which are created with exploitation of open source Google Earth data and comparing with the widely available DEM datasets, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), version 3, and Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER GDEM), version 2. The GPS technique is used in this study to produce digital elevation raster with a high level of accuracy, as reference raster, compared to the DEM datasets. Baghdad University, Al Jadriya campus, is selected as a study area. Besides, 151 reference points were created within the study area to evaluate the results based on the values of RMS.Furthermore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) was utilized to analyze, imagine and interpolate data in this study. The result of the statistical analysis revealed that RMSE of DEM related to the differences between the reference points and Google Earth, SRTM DEM and ASTER GDEM are 6.9, 5.5 and 4.8, respectively. What is more, a finding of this study shows convergence the level of accuracy for all open sources used in this study.
