用双拓扑网络从星载雷达点云重建高楼高度,提升城市测绘精度。
Reconstructing Building Height from Spaceborne TomoSAR Point Clouds Using a Dual-Topology Network
- 设计双分支网络,分别处理点云不规则特征与空间一致性
- 在慕尼黑和柏林数据上实现高分辨率连续高度图,有效修复缺失区域
- 首个直接从TomoSAR点云生成城市高度图的方案,可融合光学影像
可靠的城市建筑高度估计对多种城市应用至关重要。星载合成孔径雷达干涉测量(TomoSAR)提供不受天气影响、侧视观测,能捕捉立面级结构,是传统光学方法的有力替代。然而,TomoSAR点云常存在噪声、各向异性分布及非相干表面的数据空洞,严重影响高度重建精度。为此,我们提出一种基于学习的框架,将原始TomoSAR点云转换为高分辨率建筑高度图。所提双拓扑网络交替使用点分支建模不规则散射体特征,以及网格分支强制空间一致性。通过联合处理两种表示,网络可降噪并填补缺失区域,生成连续的高度估计。据我们所知,这是首个直接从TomoSAR点云实现大规模城市高度制图的验证案例。在慕尼黑和柏林数据上的大量实验验证了该方法的有效性。此外,我们还证明该框架可扩展以融合光学卫星影像,进一步提升重建质量。源代码已公开于 https://github.com/zhu-xlab/tomosar2height。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reliable building height estimation is essential for various urban applications. Spaceborne SAR tomography (TomoSAR) provides weather-independent, side-looking observations that capture facade-level structure, offering a promising alternative to conventional optical methods. However, TomoSAR point clouds often suffer from noise, anisotropic point distributions, and data voids on incoherent surfaces, all of which hinder accurate height reconstruction. To address these challenges, we introduce a learning-based framework for converting raw TomoSAR points into high-resolution building height maps. Our dual-topology network alternates between a point branch that models irregular scatterer features and a grid branch that enforces spatial consistency. By jointly processing these representations, the network denoises the input points and inpaints missing regions to produce continuous height estimates. To our knowledge, this is the first proof of concept for large-scale urban height mapping directly from TomoSAR point clouds. Extensive experiments on data from Munich and Berlin validate the effectiveness of our approach. Moreover, we demonstrate that our framework can be extended to incorporate optical satellite imagery, further enhancing reconstruction quality.
