Registration and phase unwrapping algorithms for InSAR images with dense residues[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2009,13(1):54-59. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20090107.
This paper introduces a procedure of Interferometric SAR(InSAR)processing
including the algorithms of image registration and phase unwrapping.A coarse-to-fine fast registration framework
based on the mean square difference function
is proposed.Aiming at the interferogram with large size and dense residues
two unwrapping algorithms are presented:one is the multi-patches method to connect opposite residues
and another one the center expanding method to search opposite residues.These two algorithms can avoid long branch cuts and excessive connection of residues
and are well employed in the experiments of ENVISAT-ASAR datasets.Compared with conventional methods
our results of registration and unwrapping show good advantages in InSAR data processing.
