Abstract :
In this paper, a robust method for synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) interferometric phase estimation is introduced. In the method, the optimal joint data vector is determined, the generalized correlation steering vector is computed according to the data vector, and then the beamforming technique with the steering vector is used to estimate the InSAR interferometric phase. The method can carry out image coregistration and interferometric phase estimation simultaneously.
