Abstract
The objective of this work is to generate accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferograms using the spotlight and staring spotlight modes during the TanDEM-X (TDX) science phase. We use stereo SAR with TDX or TerraSAR-X (TSX) to estimate absolute heights of natural or man-made reflectors for input to the unwrapped interferograms. The accuracy of the absolute heights in the DEMs was a few decimetres in flat regions and a few metres in the hilly and rugged terrain.
