Geocoding Sar-interferograms by Least Squares Adjustment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several geocoding methods for SAR interferometry are compared. The discussion results in the proposal of a new geocoding model. It is based on a least squares adjustment combining interferometric phase, range, Doppler centroid frequency, flight path and control point data. A complete mathematical framework for the computation of object space coordinates without approximations is presented. This gives a way to an efficient implementation of the algorithm for geocoding the pixels of an interferogram.

متن کاملModelling and Analysis Tools
The paper focuses on the differential interferometric SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technique for the monitoring of terrain surface deformations. The paper begins with a concise description of the properties of the differential interferometric phase, which represents the main observation for the estimation of the deformations. Then the paper discusses of the main features of a new interferomet...
متن کاملTopography and Displacement of Polar Glaciers from Multi-temporal Sar Interferograms: Potentials, Error Analysis and Validation
This paper describes a new technique to simultaneously estimate topography and motion of polar glaciers from multi-temporal SAR interferograms. The approach is based on a combination of several SAR interferograms in a least-squares adjustment using the GaussMarkov model. For connecting the multi-temporal data sets, a spatio-temporal model is proposed that describes the properties of the surface...
متن کاملBasic Principles and Current Issues of Sar Interferometry
The principles of SAR interferometry, in particular phase unwrapping and geocoding, are described. Interferometric point positioning is treated based on a least squares approach avoiding approximations. Current issues of SAR interferometry are discussed: atmospheric effects on spaceborne repeat-pass interferometry limiting the accuracy and reliability of Digital Elevation Models (DEM), the Shut...
متن کاملMonitoring Terrain Deformations at Phlegrean Fields with SAR Interferometry
The terrain deformations in the Neapolitan area of the Phlegrean Fields have been studied by means of SAR interferometry (INSAR). The area, located near Mt.Vesuvius, is subject to strong volcanic activity, as testified by the continuous alternation of phases of strong uplift with periods of slow subsidence. Since 1985 the area is undergoing subsidence. A set of interferograms from ERS data has ...
