Improving the Coherence for InSAR Processing and Coherence Estimation Using the Linear Phase Model
A topography adaptive filter is proposed to improve the coherence of single look complex (SLC) images obtained from different looking angles for interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) processing
and to improve the coherence estimation as well.The extraction of the linear phase model of the interferogram via local frequency estimation based on the 2-D Chirp-Z transform makes this filter topographically adaptive both in range and azimuth.Adjusting the filter parameters according to the local topography
the adaptive filter performs better than the fixed bandwidth non-adaptive one designed through flat earth phase estimation.Interferometric data set of Mt.Etna is processed topographicaeey adaptively in range and azimuth
and the results are employed for the comparison of the performances of the proposed and conventional filters.Finally
the linear phase model is also used to improve the coherence estimation by eliminating the topography variation in the estimator.
