Abstract. Data from the optical satellite imaging sensors running 24/7, is collecting in embarrassing abundance nowadays. Besides more suitable for large-scale mapping, multi-view high-resolution satellite images (HRSI) are cheaper when comparing to Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data and aerial remotely sensed images, which are more accessible sources for digital surface modelling and updating. Digital Surface Model (DSM) generation is one of the most critical steps for mapping, 3D modelling, and semantic interpretation. Computing DSM from this dataset is relatively new, and several solutions exist in the market, both commercial and open-source solutions, the performances of these solutions have not yet been comprehensively analyzed. Although some works and challenges have focused on the DSM generation pipeline and the geometric accuracy of the generated DSM, the evaluations, however, do not consider the latest solutions as the fast development in this domain. In this work, we discussed the pipeline of the considered both commercial and opensource solutions, assessed the accuracy of the multi-view satellite image-based DSMs generation methods with LiDAR-derived DSM as the ground truth. Three solutions, including Satellite Stereo Pipeline (S2P), PCI Geomatica, and Agisoft Metashape, are evaluated on a WorldView-3 multi-view satellite dataset both quantitatively and qualitatively with the LiDAR ground truth. Our comparison and findings are presented in the experimental section.

Resampling Method

High resolution, optical satellite sensors are boosted to a new era in the last few years, because satellite stereo images at half meter or even 30cm resolution are available. Nowadays, high resolution satellite image data have been commonly used for Digital Surface Model (DSM) generation and 3D reconstruction. It is common that the Rational Polynomial Coefficients (RPCs) provided by the vendors have rough precision and there is no ground control information available to refine the RPCs. Therefore, we present two relative orientation methods by using corresponding image points only: the first method will use quasi ground control information, which is generated from the corresponding points and rough RPCs, for the bias-compensation model; the second method will estimate the relative pointing errors on the matching image and remove this error by an affine model. Both methods do not need ground control information and are applied for the entire image. To get very dense point clouds, the Semi-Global Matching (SGM) method is an efficient tool. However, before accomplishing the matching process the epipolar constraints are required. In most conditions, satellite images have very large dimensions, contrary to the epipolar geometry generation and image resampling, which is usually carried out in small tiles. This paper also presents a modified piecewise epipolar resampling method for the entire image without tiling. The quality of the proposed relative orientation and epipolar resampling method are evaluated, and finally sub-pixel accuracy has been achieved in our work.

Urban building information can be effectively extracted by applying object-based image segmentation and multi-stage thresholding on High Resolution (HR) remote sensing satellite imageries. This study provides the results obtained using this method on the images of Indian remote sensing satellite, CARTOSAT-2S launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). In this study, a method is developed to extract urban building footprints from the HR remote sensing satellite images. The first step of the process consists of generating highly dense per pixel Digital Surface Model (DSM) by using semi global matching algorithm on HR satellite stereo images and applying robust ground filtering to generate Digital Terrain Model (DTM). In the second step, multi-stage object-based approach is adopted to extract building bases using the PAN sharpened image, normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM) derived from DSM and DTM, and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The results are compared with the manual method of drawing building footprints by cartographers. An average precision of 0.930, recall of 0.917, and f-score of 0.922 are obtained. The results are found to be in a match with the method using the high resolution Airborne LiDAR DSM by providing a solution for large areas, low cost and low time.

Nowadays, multiple-view stereo satellite imagery has become a valuable data source for digital surface model generation and 3D reconstruction. In 2016, a well-organized multiple view stereo publicly benchmark for commercial satellite imagery has been released by the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, USA. This benchmark motivates us to explore the method that can generate accurate digital surface models from a large number of high resolution satellite images. In this paper, we propose a pipeline for processing the benchmark data to digital surface models. As a pre-procedure, we filter all the possible image pairs according to the incidence angle and capture date. With the selected image pairs, the relative bias-compensated model is applied for relative orientation. After the epipolar image pairs’ generation, dense image matching and triangulation, the 3D point clouds and DSMs are acquired. The DSMs are aligned to a quasi-ground plane by the relative bias-compensated model. We apply the median filter to generate the fused point cloud and DSM. By comparing with the reference LiDAR DSM, the accuracy, the completeness and the robustness are evaluated. The results show, that the point cloud reconstructs the surface with small structures and the fused DSM generated by our pipeline is accurate and robust.
