For urban planning purposes updated information on land-use and urban structures and change dynamics are essential. Satellite Earth observation is a very effective information source, to provide actual representations of the situation ‘as is’ in regular time steps. The Pléiades constellation offers very high resolution imagery with a triple-stereo acquisition. The intrinsic combination of thematic and height information is an additional asset provided by recent VHR stereo imagery. Digital surface models (DSM) can be derived through stereo matching algorithms, one of which is semi-global matching (SGM). SGM integrates local and global matching methods with a short processing time and a...
