Features: "Principles and Applications of Radar Interferometry" systematically elaborates on the development of radar interferometry and the fundamental principles and methods of radar remote sensing. It provides a detailed description of the implementation process and key algorithms for generating DEM through InSAR processing. The book is divided into 7 chapters, covering the following content:
Analyzing and summarizing the current research status of InSAR image DEM extraction both domestically and internationally;
Elaborating on digital elevation model generation techniques and quality control, as well as the basic processing principles of InSAR, and providing a detailed InSAR processing workflow;
Comparing and analyzing existing InSAR phase unwrapping algorithms, proposing an improved algorithm based on the classical phase unwrapping algorithm (branch-cut method);
Discussing the phase unwrapping algorithm based on genetic algorithms;
Using the theoretical framework of InSAR measurement processing, systematically and comprehensively analyzing the factors contributing to errors when extracting DEM from InSAR images, and providing quantitative formulas for error estimation;
Providing source code for some key algorithms.
This book can serve as a reference for researchers working on InSAR processing in China, as well as an introductory textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in related fields.
