The task of extracting this 3D geometry from a given surface hitherto requires a combination of appropriately collected corresponding samples and\/or specialized equipment, as inferring the elevation from single image data is out of reach for contemporary approaches. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have experienced unprecedented growth in recent years as they can extrapolate rules in a data-driven manner and retrieve convoluted, nonlinear one-to-one mappings, such as an approximate mapping from satellite imagery to DEMs. Therefore, we propose an end-to-end Deep Learning (DL) approach to construct this mapping and to generate an absolute or relative point cloud estimation of a DEM given a single RGB satellite (Sentinel-2 imagery in this work) or drone image. The model has been readily extended to incorporate available information from the non-visible electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike existing methods, we only exploit one image for the production of the elevation data, rendering our approach less restrictive and constrained, but suboptimal compared to them at the same time. Moreover, recent advances in software and hardware allow us to make the inference and the generation extremely fast, even on moderate hardware. We deploy Conditional Generative Adversarial networks (CGAN), which are the state-of-the-art approach to image-to-image translation. We expect our work to serve as a springboard for further development in this field and to foster the integration of such methods in the process of generating, updating and analyzing DEMs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12122002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,23]],"date-time":"2020-06-23T09:05:33Z","timestamp":1592903133000},"page":"2002","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Generating Elevation Surface from a Single RGB Remotely Sensed Image Using Deep Learning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Emmanouil","family":"Panagiotou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, 15780 Zografou, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georgios","family":"Chochlakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, 15780 Zografou, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lazaros","family":"Grammatikopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics Engineering, University of West Attica, 12243 Egaleo, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Charou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications, National Centre for Scientific Research Demokritos, 15310 Aghia Paraskevi, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2259","DOI":"10.1029\/1999WR900034","article-title":"On the effect of digital elevation model accuracy on hydrology and geomorphology","volume":"35","author":"Walker","year":"1999","journal-title":"Water Resour.
