Minimum Cost Flow phase unwrapping supported by multibase- line unwrapped gradient

چکیده
The objective of the TanDEM-X Mission is the generation of a global high resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). To carry out this goal, two interferograms with different baselines will be acquired. We propose a novel two-stage multibaseline phase unwrapping method. Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is used to reduce the ambiguity and errors in gradient estimation on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Based on these estimates, Minimum Cost Flow (MCF) is used to unwrap the phase accounting for the overall conservative condition of the gradient. Hence the advantages of both techniques are efficiently integrated. Results on simlated data using TerraSAR-X parameters are reported.

InSAR Phase Unwrapping by Transforming Sparce Data into a Regular Space
Phase unwrapping is one of the most important parts of InSAR techniques. In order to estimate the grand surface displacements, interferomtric phases modulated between 0 to 2π must be unwrapped. Based on the use of either the conventional method or persistent scatterer (PS), phases will be spread both regularly and irregularly. The phases of PSs can be unwrapped by reducing phases into a regular...
متن کاملHybrid genetic algorithm using a parametric method to solve the two- dimensional phase unwrapping problem
A hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the two-dimensional phase unwrapping problem by minimizing the L-norm between the unwrapped and wrapped phase gradients. The unwrapped phase is approximated by estimating the parameters of a function chosen by the genetic algorithm that can achieve the global minimum of the L-norm. Different predefined functions are used on the basis of the object...
متن کاملThe edgelist algorithm for constraining phase unwrapped solutions with additional geodetic information
Phase unwrapping as used in InSAR geodesy is the reconstruction of absolute phase from measured phase known only modulo 2 on a finite grid of points in either 2 two or three dimensions. Many effective methods have been developed for unwrapping SAR interferograms [1-5], however phase unwrapping is a key step in many other coherent imaging techniques as well. Network programming approaches [3-4] ...

Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar has been shown to be effective for monitoring subsidence in coal mining areas.

متن کاملPhase unwrapping for large SAR interferograms: statistical segmentation and generalized network models
Two-dimensional (2-D) phase unwrapping is a key step in the analysis of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data. While challenging even in the best of circumstances, this problem poses unique difficulties when the dimensions of the interferometric input data exceed the limits of one’s computational capabilities. In order to deal with such cases, we propose a technique for applying...
