Description:
Stereo viewing is indispensable for the measurement of homologue points in two overlapping images and the subsequent reconstruction of the three-dimensional topographic relief. Aspects of stereo viewing geometry are discussed along with problems of radar stereoscopy, taking into account stereo evaluation with an exaggeration factor, the viewability of real images, and radar stereoscopic computations. Attention is given to the definition of radar stereoscopic exaggeration, questions of image simulation, and the accuracy obtained with parallax measurements in radar images. An evaluation with a large set of about 40 radar stereo models demonstrates that same-side arrangements provide good stereo viewability. This result was confirmed for aircraft radar with look angles off-nadir of 60-80 deg and intersection angles between 0.2 deg and 23 deg, and for satellite radar (Seasat) with look angles of 20 deg and interaction angles of 1.2 deg - 4.8 deg.
