New Advances in Multi-Temporal Differential SAR Interferometry for Full Resolution Data Analysis

Joint Multi-baseline SAR Interferometry

We propose a technique to provide interferometry by combining multiple images of the same area. This technique differs from the multi-baseline approach in literature as (a) it exploits all the images simultaneously, (b) it performs a spectral shift preprocessing to remove most of the decorrelation, and (c) it exploits distributed targets. The technique is mainly intended for DEM generation at c...

Scheduling Downloads for Multi-Satellite, Multi-Ground Station Missions

In this paper we address the deterministic, multi-satellite, multi-ground station communication scheduling problem. As the number of small satellites in space increases, so does the demand for downloading their large quantities of acquired data. Given the capacity-constrained ground station network, efficient scheduling plays a major role in the overall performance of missions. The small-satell...

Spaceborne Polarimetric SAR Interferometry: Performance Analysis and Mission Concepts

We investigate multichannel imaging radar systems employing coherent combinations of polarimetry and interferometry (PolInSAR). Such systems are well suited for the extraction of bioand geophysical parameters by evaluating the combined scattering from surfaces and volumes. This combination leads to several important differences between the design of Pol-InSAR sensors and conventional single pol...

Multi-Image Satellite SAR Interferometry: State of the Art and Future Trends

In this paper we wish to review briefly the principles funding a recently developed approach, known as Permanent Scatterers (PS) technique and aimed at the joint exploitation of series of spaceborne interferometric SAR images for the retrieval of high precision elevation and ground deformation data on a sparse grid of privileged point-wise radar targets.
