Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
To improve the spatial density of measurement points of persistent-scatterer interferometry, distributed scatterer (DS) should be considered and processed. An important procedure in DS interferometry is the phase triangulation (PT). This letter introduces two modified PT algorithms (i.e., equal-weighted PT and coherence-weighted PT) and analyzes the mathematical relations between different published PT methods (i.e., the maximum-likelihood phase estimator, least squares estimator, and eigendecomposition-based phase estimators). The analysis shows that the above five PT methods share very similar mathematical forms with different weight values in the estimation procedure.
