An Improved Method for Phase Triangulation Algorithm Based on the Coherence Matrix Eigen-Decomposition in Time-Series SAR Interferometry

Time-series SAR interferometry, which combines permanent scatterers (PSs) and distributed scatterers (DSs), has been strongly developed in recent years. Unlike PS, DS corresponds to a natural target whose neighboring pixels share similar reflectivity values. The selection of DS is relevant to the go...

An Improved Method for Phase Triangulation Algorithm Based on the Coherence Matrix Eigen-Decomposition in Time-Series SAR Interferometry
description Time-series SAR interferometry, which combines permanent scatterers (PSs) and distributed scatterers (DSs), has been strongly developed in recent years. Unlike PS, DS corresponds to a natural target whose neighboring pixels share similar reflectivity values. The selection of DS is relevant to the goodness-of-fit value, the estimation of which is based on all possible combined interferometric phases and fails to avoid the adverse effect of low-quality phases.
