Description:
We have adapted the NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP) - a suite of automated, open source, command-line photogrammetry tools originally developed for NASA planetary missions - to process high-resolution stereo satellite imagery of the Earth.These tools are multithreaded, memory efficient and scalable, which enables processing of big image data (e.g., 16-bit panchromatic WorldView images with dimensions ~36000 x 460000 px).nnWe have deployed this pipeline on the NASA Pleiades supercomputer to g
