The SRTM topographic mapping processor

IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002
In February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) carried out a mission to map the world's landmass between /spl plusmn/60/spl deg/ using radar interferometry. The radar mapping instrument consisted of modified versions of the SIR-C C-band and X-band radars flown on the shuttle in 1994.

Filtering of interferometric SRTM X-SAR data

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
In February 2000, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission acquired a global digital elevation model (DEM) within only 11 days. During the years 2000 and 2001, extensive testing and calibration activities followed at DLR. One of the questions during that phase was, which kind of interferogram filtering should be performed.

A Global Assessment of the SRTM Performance

Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, 2006
The NASA/NGA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected interferometric radar data which has been used by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to generate a near-global topography data product for latitudes smaller than 60°. One of the primary goals of the mission was to produce a data set that was globally consistent and with quantified errors.

SRTM/X-SAR: products and processing facility

IGARSS 2001. Scanning the Present and Resolving the Future. Proceedings. IEEE 2001 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Cat. No.01CH37217), 2002
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission SRTM mapped the Earth's surface in two frequencies - C-band and X-band. This paper presents the SRTM/X-SAR products, the processing and archiving facility as well as the procedures on how the products will be made available.

Calibration of the interferometric X-SAR system on SRTM

IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003
The authors present the interferometric calibration of the X-SAR system on SRTM. From a height sensitivity analysis they identify key system parameters influencing the height reconstruction performance. Possible error sources in the radar instrument and the geometry determination are discussed.

On the suitability of the SRTM DEM for simulating potential insolation

2013 21st International Conference on Geoinformatics, 2013
Among many applications of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and digital elevation model (DEM), the suitability of this data for simulating potential insolation (PI) has not been fully examined. This study examined the accuracy of potential insolation simulation based on 3 arc-second resolution SRTM.

Concept for the X-SAR/SRTM data utilization

IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003
With the X-SAR/SRTM Mission for the first time a high resolution digital elevation model of all landmasses between +60/spl deg/ and -58/spl deg/ will be generated. DLR will process its model in a timeframe of 2 years after the mission, which is scheduled for September 1999.

The SRTM Data “Finishing” Process and Products

Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, 2006
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) successfully acquired terrain elevation data for 80 percent of the Earth’s landmass in February 2000. The radar system and data collection scheme designed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) met the global requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense for Level 2 Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED ® )

Field experiments synchronous with SRTM flights

IGARSS 2001. Scanning the Present and Resolving the Future. Proceedings. IEEE 2001 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Cat. No.01CH37217), 2002
A national coordinated program was evolved to utilise SRTM data for applications to Earth sciences, hydrology and technology development. The project was sponsored by Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. Fourteen test sites covering the above themes spread all over India were selected for conducting synchronous field experiments ...

Terrain characterization using SRTM data

Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing, 2010
Earth’s surface possesses relief because the geomorphic processes operate at different rates, and geologic structure plays a dominant role in the evolution of landforms (Thornbury, 1954). The spatial pattern of relief yields the topographic mosaic of a terrain and is normally extracted from the topographical maps which are available at various scales ...
