Some questions dealt with accuracy estimation of digital elevation model obtained by InSAR systems are analyzed. An influence of geometry-induced factors on model's vertical accuracy is examined. A conclusion about the necessity of utilization of ground control calibration for model calibration is made.
Keywords: Synthesized aperture radars, InSAR, digital elevation models, accuracy estimation
