• Abstract: With the development of remote sensing technology in recent decades, spaceborne sensors with sub-meter and meter spatial resolution (Worldview and PlanetScope) have achieved a considerable image quality to generate 3D geospatial data via a stereo matching pipeline. These achievements have significantly increased the data accessibility in 3D, necessitating adapting these 3D geospatial data to analyze human and natural environments. This dissertation explores several novel approaches based on stereo and multi-view satellite image-derived 3D geospatial data, to deal with remote sensing application issues for built-up area modeling and natural environment monitoring, including building model 3D reconstruction, glacier dynamics tracking, and lake algae monitoring. Specifically, the dissertation introduces four parts of novel approaches that deal with the spatial and temporal challenges with satellite-derived 3D data. The first study advances LoD-2 building modeling from satellite-derived Orthophoto and DSMs with a novel approach employing a model-driven workflow that generates building rectangular 3D geometry models. Secondly, we further enhanced our building reconstruction framework for dense urban areas and non-rectangular purposes, we implemented deep learning for unit-level segmentation and introduced a gradient-based circle reconstruction for circular buildings to develop a polygon composition technique for advanced building LoD2 reconstruction. Our third study utilizes high-spatiotemporal resolution PlanetScope satellite imagery for glacier tracking at 3D level in mid-latitude regions. Finally, we proposed a term as "Algal Behavior Function" to refine the quantification of chlorophyll-a concentrations from satellite imagery in water quality monitoring, addressing algae fluctuations and timing discrepancies between satellite observations and field measurements, thus enhancing the precision of underwater algae volume estimates. Overall, this dissertation demonstrates the extensive potential of satellite photogrammetry applications in addressing urban and environmental challenges. It further showcases innovative analytical methodologies that enhance the applicability of adapting stereo and multi-view very high-resolution satellite-derived 3D data.

  We introduce the Geometry-Aware Large Reconstruction Model (GeoLRM), an approach which can predict high-quality assets with 512k Gaussians and 21 input images in only 11 GB GPU memory. Previous works neglect the inherent sparsity of 3D structure and do not utilize explicit geometric relationships between 3D and 2D images. GeoLRM tackles these issues by incorporating a novel 3D-aware transformer structure that directly processes 3D points and uses deformable cross-attention mechanisms.

We validate our approach using both synthetic datasets and actual observations of China's Space Station, showcasing its significant advantages over existing methods in reconstructing 3D space objects from ground-based observations.
