Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The recent, sharp increase in the availability of interferometric data captured by different synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (InSAR) sensors poses a new scientific question that whether there is a processing framework that can combine these observations to obtain a more credible InSAR product (i.e., digital elevation model (DEM) and surface deformation estimation). In this article, we extend our previous two-stage programming-based multibaseline processing framework for combining the interferograms generated from disparate InSAR systems with different system parameters to enhance the InSAR performance at the signal processing stage. The proposed multisystem interferometric data fusion framework, abbreviated as TSDFF, includes three processing steps: multisystem interferogram registration, multisystem phase unwrapping, and absolute phase fusing. The advantage of TSDFF is that it can allow the data sets from different InSAR sensors to help each other to get rid of the limitation of the Itoh condition so that the application scope of each InSAR sensor will be effectively enlarged (e.g., measuring violent surface change or mountainous DEM). In addition, to quantitatively analyze the measurement bias robustness bound of TSDFF, the TSDFF-Fusion theorem is proposed, which offers significant application guidance for TSDFF at different noise levels. The real and simulated experimental results reveal the effectiveness of TSDFF for fusing the data sets from disparate InSAR systems.
