ABSTRACT
Utilizing Sentinel-1 single look complex (SLC) products as the initial image, we employ the differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (D-InSAR) technique to derive the most up-to-date digital elevation model (DEM) dataset of the mountainous region, located in Tianshan Mountain and Zheduoshan Mountain, China. This approach can minimize the preliminary scanning workload due to limited knowledge of the surveyed area, breaking through the limitations of conventional drone power sources, and thereby enhancing the efficiency of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial surveys in the field. Here, we present a demonstrative experiment showcasing the method’s feasibility.
