Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing
Special Issue Call for Papers
“The Shuttle Radar Topography
Mission – Data Validation and
Applications”
The February 2000
flight of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)
has resulted in an unprecedented near-global high-resolution
elevation
dataset. Since the shuttle flight, the mapping community
has eagerly anticipated
the availability of this new source of basic topographic
information.
All SRTM data production has been completed, and the
data are now being
used in numerous applications. To help document the SRTM
data quality and
characteristics, and to describe applications benefiting
from the data, a special
issue of Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing
(PE&RS) dedicated
to SRTM results will be published in February 2006. Papers
for the
special issue are solicited to cover one or more of the
following topics:
-
Horizontal and vertical accuracy
of SRTM elevation data products
-
Spatial resolution
analysis of SRTM elevation data products
-
Comparison
of SRTM elevation data products with other types
of elevation
data, especially data derived from other remote
sensing systems
-
Comparison of SRTM C-band
products with X-band products in terms
of accuracy and spatial resolution
-
Generation of
datasets derived from SRTM elevation data, and
comparison
of derivative products with similar products
derived from other
sources of elevation data
-
Algorithms for filling
voids in SRTM elevation data
-
Applications of
SRTM elevation data and derived products, with
a special
focus on describing the effects
of using SRTM data in place
of other
elevation datasets
-
New applications of elevation
data facilitated by the
availability of
SRTM data
All manuscripts must be prepared according
to the PE&RS “Instructions to
Authors,” which is published in each issue of PE&RS and is available on the
ASPRS web site, www.asprs.org. Papers will be peer-reviewed
in accordance
with journal policy. The deadline for submission is July
1, 2005. All
manuscripts should be sent to Dean Gesch, Guest Editor
