Abstract :
Exact closed-form algorithms for InSAR-derived digital elevation model (DEM) geolocation are described. They are based on the knowledge of orbit parameters and time/Doppler frequency coordinates of each SAR image, as well as of their interferometric phase. The proposed scheme gives a simple framework for deriving the geolocation accuracy
