Study on CR Point Identification in SAR Images

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the algorithm of Corner Reflector Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (CR-InSAR), the identification of Corner Reflector (CR) points in SAR images is necessary. Due to the uncertainty of traditional method in estimating the row and column information of CR, this paper presents a method for CR points’ identification, which is based on the intensity and correlation coefficient. The method has been successfully used to find the CR points in the six SAR images of the study area where the identification of CR points installed along a high way is difficult. The results show that the method presented is effective and reliable which will play important role in the deformation monitoring in highway using CR-InSAR algorithm.
