The interferometric phase in a SAR interferogram may only be represented in the range 0-360 degrees, leaving an unknown integer ambiguity representing the number of extra whole wavelengths travelled during the imaging at the second antenna. This makes it impossible to solve for the precise baseline components from the interferogram alone. In this paper, the InSAR geometry is re-examined using a...

The effect of a nonlinear response of mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) detectors to photon flux is to cause a large offset and a slow variation in the zero-line of single-beam Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, which dramatically reduce the accuracy to which strongly absorbing bands or lines can be measured. We describe a noniterative numerical technique by which the baseline offset can...

The quality of an interferogram, which is limited by various phase noise, will greatly affect the further processes of InSAR, such as phase unwrapping. Interferometric SAR (InSAR) geophysical measurements', such as height or displacement, phase filtering is therefore an essential step. In this work, an improved Goldstein interferogram filter is proposed to suppress the phase noise while preserv...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) processing relies on phase unwrapping to convert interferometric phase to topographic height. Phase unwrapping is a di cult non-linear process that is still the subject of on-going research. Rather than processing the complete phase image to extract a digital elevation model (DEM), we use existing coarse DEMs as an integral part of the InSAR algo...

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...

Scanning broadband light interferometry (SBLI) has been widely utilized in surface metrology due to its non-contact and high-accuracy method. In SBLI, phase evaluation through Fourier Transform (FT) is a prevalent and efficient technique, where the topography measurement can often be achieved through one interferogram. Nevertheless, the accuracy of the FT method would be significantly influence...

Capability to simulate the coherence function is important when tuning an interference microscope in an effort to reduce sidelobes in interference signals. The coherence function cannot directly be derived from the light source spectrum since the microscope's effective spectrum is affected by e.g. spatial coherence effects. We show this by comparing the true system spectrum measured using a spe...

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...
