The article also contains useful links with explanations that can be used for processing data from the Sentinel-1 satellite. To emphasize the data limits of Sentinel-1, several areas of interest were chosen for comparison </span><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial';">– </span><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial';">in the home environment of the Czech </span><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial';">Republic, the Bílina quarry area, and the Žatec area were selected. For subsequent comparison, </span><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial';">arid areas with a rich history located in Sudan were selected.

Sudan's regions, on the other hand, are arid but are limited by insufficient coverage by capturing the Sentinel-1 satellite. To create digital height models from Sentinel-1 satellite data, it is necessary to search for data with sufficient coherence of images, and parameters of the amount of vegetation with a period between individual images play an important role. The areas were compared with each other and with the commonly available SRTM elevation model, both from a visual point of view </span><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial';">– </span><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial';">where digital height models and shaded surface models were created, as well as statistically using RMSE. </span></p></div></div></div> ER -
