The long-term goal of this project is the establishment of receiving, processing, and interpretation capabilities for spaceborne along-track interferometric synthetic aperture radar (along-track InSAR, ATI) data at the University of Miami's Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing (CSTARS) for high-resolution surface current field mapping with special emphasis on applications in...

A method for tightly integrating GPS observations and the persistent scatterer (PS) interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is proposed to detect vertical ground motion in Hong Kong, China. The tropospheric zenith wet delays (ZWD) derived from GPS observations at sites in the SAR scenes are used

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a powerful geodetic tool used to construct digital elevation models of the earth’s topography and to image centimeter-scale displacements associated with crustal deformation and the flow of ice sheets. The past decade has seen significant improvements in our understanding of earthquakes, volcanoes, and glaciers as a direct result of this techn...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) methods and applications for mapping and monitoring displacements on mountain slopes and subsidence in urban areas were investigated in the EC project MUSCL (Monitoring Urban Subsidence, Cavities and Landslides by means of remote sensing) using various techniques. The area-extended differential InSAR technique was applied for mapping slow slope m...

Speckle noise in interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) phase images seriously degrades the quality of interferogram, disenables interferogram to reflect accurate phase characteristics of the target and increases the difficulty in extracting DEM information of the target area. Therefore, reducing speckle noise by interferogram filtering is a significant step in InSAR processing. First...

Spatial and temporal variations in temperature, pressure, and relative humidity create tropospheric signals in InS...

Abstract—The objective of this paper is to investigate the volume scattering for the vegetation parameter estimation of Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol-InSAR). Firstly the models for describing the volume scattering are derived from the Pol-InSAR imaging geometry and volume scattering characteristics. The interferometric properties of volume scattering as well as the ...
