Extended Kalman Filter Phase Unwrapping Smooth Algorithm in InSAR Image

Article Preview

Abstract:

InSAR phase unwrapping is one of the key technologies in precise differential interferometry measurement. However, when the noise is more, wrapped phase easily make the unwrapping result’s errors more. To solve this problem, phase error is compensated, and extended Kalman filter gain is limited within a certain range, error is suppressed in a relatively small area. Finally, extended Kalman filter smooth reduce the errors’ spread. Using interference data of ESA ERS-1 satellite to do experiments, it show that this method is superior to least squares method, quality guided method and original Kalman filter method in unwrapping precision and quality, it has higher stability.
