Further reading

ASP itself

• ASP documentation — the canonical reference. Hundreds of pages, very thorough.

• ASP examples — per-sensor recipes (DigitalGlobe, ASTER, HiRISE, CTX, MOC, LRO NAC, Pleiades, SPOT, Cassini, …). When you need to process a sensor we don’t cover, start here.

• ASP GitHub — source, releases, issues.

• ASP support group — best place to ask sensor-specific questions.

Stereo concepts, explained elsewhere

• CARS technical foundations — CNES’s illustrated walk from a stereo pair to a DSM. A good second telling of the story this guide’s concept pages tell.

• PGC introduction to stereoscopic imagery — how in-track and cross-track stereo collection works, from the group behind ArcticDEM.

• UP42 on DEMs, DSMs, and DTMs — the elevation-model vocabulary sorted out.

Visualization and diagnostics

• asp-plot documentation — full API reference + example notebooks for jitter correction, planetary missions, workflows that skip orthorectification, scene selection.

Reference data

• Copernicus DEM on AWS — global 30 m DEM, free, no auth.

• ICESat-2 ATL06 — the underlying altimetry product. Use SlideRule for cloud-native access.

• USGS 3DEP — high-resolution US elevation data, useful for validating Earth DEMs.

• NASA Earthdata — ASTER L1A, MODIS, Landsat, and most other NASA products.

• NASA ODE GDS — planetary altimetry (LOLA, MOLA) and imagery archives.

Companion repositories

• uw-cryo/asp_plot — visualization companion (heavily used here).

• uw-cryo/asp_tutorials — earlier tutorial repo. Some of the example data here originates there.

• uw-cryo/skysat_stereo — high-cadence Planet imagery + ASP.

• uw-cryo/wv_stereo_processing — production-grade WorldView pipelines.

• NeoGeographyToolkit/StereoPipelineSolvedExamples — solved examples shipped with ASP itself.
