Here, we propose an algorithm that calculates the elevation of homologous points included in Synthetic Aperture Radar images obtained by parallel same-side facing airborne flightpaths. Furthermore, we develop an automatic search of homologous points by a method of shape recognition determined by a threshold on the pixel radiometry gradient. With this algorithm, we generate a topographic map of the Kilauea volcano (Hawaii) from AIRSAR images.", }
