            Abstract : 
In this letter, compressive sensing based methods for layover separation in airborne single-pass multi-baseline InSAR data are investigated. The standard compressive sensing (CS) is compared with recently proposed distributed CS (DCS) and a new “multilooking” approach to CS (MCS). Experiments on simulated data show that, while CS is not satisfyingly applicable to single-pass data stacks with just few acquisitions, the neighborhood-based approaches, DCS and MCS, yield a promising perspective.
