Abstract
Digital elevation models (DEM) are indispensable elements of sensitive earth science studies. It is important the production and usage of DEMs. The science of remote sensing offers scientists an important source of data on this subject. Radar data, which is an active remote sensing system, has an important capacity in this regard. DEM production using InSAR data has been widely used in the literature in the last decade. The temporal baseline parameter, which is an important factor in data generation from InSAR pairs, also affects the final products. In this study, it is aimed to examine the usability of these data by producing short (4days), medium (84 days) and long (440 days) baseline DEMs using InSAR pairs of COSMO Sky-Med satellite. At the same time, photogrammetric DEMs were produced with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in selected pilot areas. The DEMs produced were evaluated in 4 land surface types, namely plain-bare, agricultural, urban and rugged area. In addition, by performing statistical analyzes such as RMSE, MAE, the accuracy of the produced DEMs compared to the DEMs produced with UAV was examined. The results showed that short and medium baseline data give more accurate results than long baseline InSAR pairs. Increasing the temporal baseline, increases the amount of error in the DEMs produced. Also, the effect of land surface types on the produced DEMs was revealed in the results of the study.
