چکیده
The accuracy of phase unwrapping influences directly the accuracy of DEM in InSAR processing. This paper begins with classifying existing phase unwrapping algorithms based on the principle of phase unwrapping; then error sources of InSAR phase unwrapping are summarized and simulated data has been taken to analyze the influence of error; thirdly, two assessment methods, rewrapping after unwrapping and elevation comparison method separately, are adopted to evaluate phase unwrapping accuracy of a group of simulated and true data; Finally, some conclusions are given and an optimal strategy for phase unwrapping is presented at the end of this paper after the error analysis and accuracy assessment of InSAR phase unwrapping. Keyword: phase unwrapping, error analysis, accuracy assessment, residual.

InSAR Phase Unwrapping by Transforming Sparce Data into a Regular Space
Phase unwrapping is one of the most important parts of InSAR techniques. In order to estimate the grand surface displacements, interferomtric phases modulated between 0 to 2π must be unwrapped. Based on the use of either the conventional method or persistent scatterer (PS), phases will be spread both regularly and irregularly. The phases of PSs can be unwrapped by reducing phases into a regular...
متن کاملInSAR Kalman Filter Phase Unwrapping Algorithm Based on SRTM DEM
PU (phase unwrapping) is the key step and important problem in DEM (digital elevation model) extraction and the measurement of surface deformation of InSAR (Interferometric synthetic aperture radar). The CKFPUA (conventional Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm) can obtain reliable results in the flat terrain areas, but it caused error transmission not making the accurate inversion of surfa...
متن کاملFiltering of InSAR interferograms
ABSTRACT: Radar is gaining increasing credibility as a technique for rapid and accurate topographic mapping. Precision and accuracy of elevation and ground displacement assessed from Interferometry SAR (InSAR) depend essentially on phase difference or interferogram quality. The phase noise degrades the visual quality of the interferogram and increases the error in phase unwrapping results. Many...
متن کاملA Statistical-cost Approach to Unwrapping the Phase of Insar Time Series
Fully 3-D phase-unwrapping algorithms are commonly based on the central assumption that the phase difference between neighbouring sample points in any dimension is generally less than half a phase cycle (the Nyquist criteria). In the case of InSAR time series, however, signals are correlated spatially but uncorrelated over the repeatpass time, due chiefly to changes in atmospheric delay. Here I...
متن کاملThe Filtering and Phase Unwrapping of Interferogram
INSAR(Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) has been studied and used widely in the field of generating high accuracy DEM(Digital Elevation Model). The processing of INSAR includes many key technologies, such as image matching, phase unwrapping, baseline estimation, etc. The phase unwrapping is difficult, but it can be made easy and simple by an excellent interferogram filtering, as is ofte...
