Abstract
En 中文
As is well known, multibaseline phase unwrapping (PU) is put forward to overcome single-baseline PU in discontinuous-terrain-height estimation. This letter presents a refined algorithm based on the cluster analysis (CA)-based noise-robust efficient multibaseline PU algorithm proposed by H. Yu. The basic idea is to combine multiple interferometric synthetic aperture radar interferograms with different baseline lengths by a linear combination. The new interferograms after the linear combination increase the ambiguity heights. The number of resulting groups on the envelope of the intercept histogram is decreased and the distance between different intercept groups is widened. Compared with the conventional CA method, the significant advantage of the refined CA (RCA) algorithm is that it improves noise robustness when the intercept groups are densely distributed. The proposed RCA algorithm is validated using the simulated interferometric data. The results demonstrate that the noise robustness performance is better than that of the CA method.
