A New Calibration Method of Airborne Interferometric SAR
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accuracy of system parameters is one of the key factors that limit the precision of DEM from airborne dual-antenna InSAR, so the interferometric calibration is of great significance. The traditional calibration method establishes the sensitivity equations to solve the different calibration parameters biases. This paper presents a new calibration method to improve the algorithm stability and suit for mass production. It introduces sensitivity analysis of every interferometric parameter and establishes a new model based on sensitivity equations. Finally, a set of airborne interferometric SAR data are adopted to do the experiment to illustrate the availability of the new method.

متن کاملInterferometric Calibration with Natural Distributed Targets
Cross-calibration is a fully automated algorithm for calibration of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) data. It has been developed for single-pass interferometry, but the principles may be applicable to multi-pass interferometry, too. The algorithm is based on natural distributed targets and it excels by neither requiring surveyed ground control points nor dedicated calibration sc...
متن کاملInitial Polarimetric Calibration of PALSAR
This paper discusses an initial polarimetric calibration of ALOS PALSAR. ALOS was launched on January 24, 2006. PALSAR, which is one of ALOS three sensors, is the first spaceborne L−band polarimetric synthetic aperture radar. It is expected that PALSAR polarimetric data is used for many applications such as agriculture, forestry, ocean, natural disasters etc. Thus, polarimetric calibration is a...
