Abstract

In this paper we present some preliminary results of the application on real data of a statistical method to solve the height estimation problem in Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). The method is based on maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation and Markov Random Fields (MRF) image modeling, and makes use of multifrequency/baseline SAR raw data. The real data set is acquired by a Ground-Based SAR (GB-SAR) interferometer based on the LiSA technology
