DEM generation

Hello,
Is it possible to do an interferogram flattering using SNAP? how?
thank you

And I have another problem
When I want to coregister the image of 2016 from this area software says that can’t download the orbit file
And offered to download it from a site and replace in a specific folder
I do it but, it doesn’t work yet!
I don’t know what shoud I do!
After replace the files, I should select what option to do it?!

Dear all
please help me
when i want to use DEM generation option of SNAP it gives me an error


what shoud i do?
and why it show me this error?

I try to make a graph for my purpose
like this:


is it wrong?
is there any problem about it?
when i want to run it, it says that,

I can’t understand why?
in stitch and unwrap tabs there is nothing to set!!
and I can’t find these 2 step separatly in software!, where are they?

Don’t use those unwrap and stitch. Update to the latest SNAP version and use export to SNAPHU, use SNAPHU on linux and then import it back into SNAP.

thank you but once i do it , as I said before I get bad result in transform phase to height
after that I try to use DEM generation option and get this error

I don’t know what should I do!

can anybody help me?
what is the reference height for computing elevation from interfrogram?
please give me answer!

thanks a lot:smiley:

Hi everybody
do you know , what is DEM accuracy created from Sentinel-1 data in S1TBX?
or how can we calculate it?

You could compare against a validated DEM of higher quality. In general repeat-pass InSAR DEMs often have quite large errors due to loss of coherence and atmospheric artifacts.

thank you mengdahl
can you explain more?
how should I do exactly?
I know that In general repeat-pass InSAR DEMs often have quite large errors due to loss of coherence and atmospheric artifacts but I do it at urban area and have high coherency!
do you think it has low accuracy?

High coherence does not help if you cannot unwrap the phase, so it depends on the situation.

I do unwrapping step without any problem

You should study assessment of DEM quality, then compare against an existing high-quality DEM and let us know how well it works. I personally would like to know the asnwer! :slight_smile:

Thank you so much mengdahl!
surely I report my result
can you give me a recommendation for reading about assessment of DEM quality?

Can you please send me graph builder .xml file for DEM generation.

instead of using graphs, try to follow these steps and check if the output of each operator matches your needs.
Just applying a graph will probably end in bad results. Futhermore, the unwrapping can not be included in a SNAP graph and has to be performed externally.
