Abstract
3D data derived from satellite images is essential for scene modeling
applications requiring large-scale coverage or involving locations not
accessible by airborne lidar or cameras. Measuring the resolution of this data
is important for determining mission utility and tracking improvements. In this
work, we consider methods to evaluate the resolution of point clouds, digital
surface models, and 3D mesh models. We describe 3D metric evaluation tools and
workflows that enable automated evaluation based on high-resolution reference
airborne lidar, and we present results of analyses with data of varying
quality.
