ERS-ENVISAT combination for interferometry and super-resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with the possibility of getting interferograms and/or super resolution images by combining ERS and ENVISAT acquisition despite of their different central frequencies. It is shown that the frequency shift can be compensated – for a limited range of slopes – by exploiting large baselines (2.5 km). Interferograms with elevation of ambiguity smaller than 5 meters and coherence greater than 0:8 could be achieved on terrain with a rolling topography. Their elevation accuracy would be better than 1 m.

On the exploitation of the SBAS Algorithm for the analysis of the deformations detected from the ERS and ENVISAT DInSAR data
We present a Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) technique for generating displacement maps and deformation time-series by exploiting the SAR data acquired by the ERS and ENVISAT/ASAR systems. The proposed approach extends the Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) algorithm and is based on an easy but effective combination of ERS/ERS and ENVISAT/ENVISAT multilook interferograms...
متن کاملErs-envisat Tandem Cross-interferometry for Monitoring of Sea Ice
The very short temporal separation (about 28 minutes) of the ERS-2 and ENVISAT satellites is very attractive to obtain almost-simultaneous acquisitions, appealing for SAR Interferometric applications both for the very high temporal correlation, for the strong reduction of atmospheric artefacts, and for monitoring fast displacements. The problem of the interferometric combination of such data ar...
متن کاملTowards an atmosphere free interferogram; first comparison between ENVISAT’s ASAR and MERIS water vapor observations
During ERS-1 and ERS-2 missions, the application of synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) become known as a very important method for topographic mapping and high accuracy surface displacement measurements. Further investigations, however, showed that expected accuracy couldn’t be achieved. It appeared that radiowave propagation through the atmosphere causes significant distortion to ...
متن کاملIdentification of the Location Phase Screen of Ers-envisat Permanent Scatterers
The phase time series of a point-wise Permanent Scatterer shows an additional phase shift passing from ERS to ENVISAT. This shift depends both on the existing 30MHz frequency shift between ERS and ENVISAT and on the location of the PS within the slant range resolution cell. The phase shift changes from one PS to another, but it is constant for all the ENVISAT images and is called "location phas...
متن کاملERS-ENVISAT InSAR deformation time-series: a powerful tool to investigate long term surface deformation of large areas
Satellite time series have already provided key measurements to retrieve information on the dynamic nature of Earth surface processes. We exploit in this work the availability of the large archives of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data acquired by the ERS-1/2 and ENVISAT sensors of the European Space Agency (ESA) during the 1992-2009 time period, in order to investigate long term su...
