Purpose

 

This tool is used to bring two DEM files generated at different resolutions and on different frames at the same Pixel Spacing and on overlapping zones in order to be exploited in Raster Level DEM Fusion.

The quality files of each DEM must be resampled as well. for the SAR and Optical case these files are the following:

 

•Precison file (_precision) for the SAR case;

•Cross Correlation File (_cc) for the Optical case.

 

Technical Note

 

Two input files are needed, a coarser and a finer DEM files. The coarser file will be resampled to the pixel spacing of the finer one. Additionally, the input files will be cut to a common overlapping area, again based on the finer level DEM. The same process is automatically carried out with the respective accuracy/reliability (respectively "_precision" and "_cc") files, given that the root name remains the same. Note that the reference file is always the finer DEM. The files must have been produced with either SARscape or OPTICALscape.

 

The Input files must be in the same Cartographic System.

 

Input Files

 

Input File

The file at coarser ground resolution to be resampled. Both the DEM and corresponding Precision/accuracy files should undergo this process. This file is mandatory.

 

Input Weight File

The Precision/accuracy file at coarser ground resolution to be resampled. This file is mandatory.

 

Reference DEM File

The DEM file at finer ground resolution to be used as reference file for the resampling. This file is mandatory.

 

Output Files

 

Output file

Name of the output root. This file is mandatory.

 

Output Weight file

Name of the resampled Precision/accuracy output. This file is mandatory.

 

_dem

Resampled and cut DEM or accuracy/precision file (.sml, .hdr).
