DTM CreationDTM Creation
Typical DTM step of about 10—100 metresCorrelator-based algorithm for corresponding point search on a pair of images
PHOTOMOD 4.x → 5.0 improvements:Significant improvement of corresponding point search algorithm to increase robustness of the obtained heights.Search in triple overlap areas and inter-strip stereopairs followed by automatic filtering of excessively dense points.
PHOTOMOD 5.0 → 5.1 improvements:see the slides to follow...

Corresponding point search on epipolar lines
Robust height determining for linear objects directed at large angles to epipolar lines
Points on linear objects are discarded as unreliable.

PHOTOMOD 5.1inter-strip stereopair
PHOTOMOD 5.1all stereopairs
Inter-strip stereopairs give heights of objects that are “weak” in in-strip stereopairs.
Processing all stereopairs gives heights of all objects(a case of multiimage matching).
Buildings and Vegetation FilterBuildings and Vegetation Filter
Removes points on non-terrain objects such as buildings, plants.
Yellow points: “good” points left by the filter.
Red points: “bad” points removed by the filter.
Dense DTMDense DTM
Dense DTM step is nearly equal to the imagery GSD.
Dense DTM creation steps:1.Computation of a
preliminary dense DEM2.Filtering the preliminary
DEM3. Interpolating the DEM
Dense DTM creation is accomplished by:New correlator-based algorithm of fast computation of dense modelUses benefits of NVidia CUDA technology of GPGPU parallel computations:17 megapixels per minute on Tesla C1060 / Quadro FX5800.
Dense model filtration algorithmDense model interpolation algorithm
Dense DTM allows more accurate filtering out non-terrain objects.
