Dear Jamie,
Potentially, you wanted to attatch a link to the paper you refer to. This
seemed to be missing in your post.
First of all, a useful output depends on how the imaging data are stored. I
have no experience with the method you described but I know from some
satellite imaging that depending on the imaging mode the resulting pixel
data reflect the height of the terrain.
Therefore, the pixel intensity codes the height e.g. in meters. Therefore,
I guess this will be stored as a 16-bit or a 32-bit image (unsigned).
These images you can use as a basis for the "Interactive 3D Surface Plot"
from Kai Uwe Barthel in Fiji (>Analyze >3D Surface Plot) also available as
downloadable plugin for ImageJ (
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/surface-plot-3d.html). This sould
visualize what you might want to show.
Regards,
Jan
