Abstract:
With begin of 2013 DEM production started with the generation of the Intermediate TanDEM-X DEM (IDEM) for selected science and commercial test sites. This paper gives an overview of the Intermediate DEM production that took place from end of 2012 until July 2013. It describes the DEM production process and the lessons learnt by the IDEM phase. Since autumn 2013 the final DEM generation has begun in flat areas.
