Abstract:

Multi-baseline phase unwrapping is a critical processing procedure of multi-baseline synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR). However, it has a disadvantage that it is not robust to noise. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, an L1-norm based single-baseline phase unwrapping method is proposed. By using the L1-norm optimization model, the relation among interferograms obtained by multi-baseline InSAR is combined in the conventional signle-baseline L1-norm phase unwrapping optimization model with this algorithm. Finally, simulated experiments demonstrate that this method has a better accuracy on phase unwrapping results and that it can be applied to measuring the complex terrain.
