Abstract

In this study, the accuracy of digital elevations derived from WorldView-1 stereo ortho-ready images covering an area of 25km2 was examined. The area of this study consists of an elevation range between 115-245m including cumulative heights. During the study, a digital elevation model with a 1m spatial resolution was derived using the Rational Polynomial Coefficients (RPC) of the stereo images from 14 ground control points (GCP) and 50 tie points. In accordance with these parameters, a parallax error of about 2 resulted from the processing of the images. Accuracy assessment was performed between the vertical accuracy of the absolute digital elevation model and the ground control points measured on site. As a result, the vertical accuracy varied between 0.12m and 1.4192m.
