A Height Estimation Method Based on Joint Time Delay and Phase Estimation for Wideband InSAR or InSAS

Abstract:

In this paper, a new height estimation method based on joint time delay and phase estimation is proposed, which can solve the contradiction between the dimensions of the observing space and the hypothesis of spatial stationarity. It can improve the performance and robustness of time delay estimation by utilizing the neighboring pixels’ common information though spatial processing. The simulated data varifies the perfermance of the proposed method. The result is that its performance is better than the cross correlation estimation method.
