The enhanced joint phase gradient estimator can accurately and effectively extract the phase gradient information of wrapped pixels from noisy interferograms, which greatly increases the performances of the proposed method. The optimal path-following strategy ensures that the proposed algorithm simultaneously performs noise suppression and phase unwrapping along the pixels with high-reliance to the pixels with low-reliance. Accordingly, the proposed algorithm can be predicted to obtain better results, with respect to some other algorithms, as will be demonstrated by the results obtained from synthetic data.展开更多

The contributions to multibaseline synthetic aperture radar(SAR) interferometry are as follows: a new recursive multi-baseline phase unwrapping model based on an extended particle filter is built, and the amended matrix pencil model is used to acquire phase gradient information with a higher precision and lower computational cost, and the quantized path-following strategy is introduced to guide the proposed phase unwrapping procedure to efficiently unwrap wrapped phase image along the paths routed by a phase derivative variance map.展开更多
