Extraction of DTM from Satellite Images Using Neural Networks

This thesis presents a way to generate a Digital Terrain Model (dtm) from a Digital Surface Model (dsm) and multi spectral images (including the Near Infrared (nir) color band). An Artificial Neural Network (ann) is used to pre-classify the dsm and multi spectral images. This in turn is used to filter the dsm to a dtm. The use of an ann as a classifier provided good results. Additionally, the addition of the nir color band resulted in an improvement of the accuracy of the classifier. Using the classifier, a dtm was easily extracted without removing natural edges or height variations in the forests and cities. These challenges are handled with great satisfaction as compared to earlier methods.
