Otherwise,the performance of the estimated optimal interferograms will be deteriorated. A generalized scattering vector(GSV) model is proposed to execute the PolInSAR optimal interferograms estimation.The generalized scattering vector is constructed by the Pauli scattering vectors of the processing pixel and the surrounding pixels.Even though there are coregistration errors, all the polarimetric information of the current processing pixel is entirely included in the generalized scattering vector. Therefore, the GSV-based method can automatically recover the optimal scattering mechanisms of the processing pixel with coregistration errors either in interferoemetric channels or polarimetric channels. Theoretical analysis and processing results of simulated Pol SARPro data and real PALSAR data validate the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed method.展开更多

The most difficulty for this step is to remove the noises and preserve the fringes simultaneously. To solve the dilemma, a new interferogram noise reduction algorithm based on the Maximum A Posteriori(MAP) estimate is introduced in this paper. The algorithm is solved under the Total Generalized Variation(TGV) minimization assumption, which exploits the phase characteristics up to the second order differentiation. The ideal noise-free phase consisting of piecewise smooth areas is involved in this assumption, which is coincident with the natural terrain. In order to overcome the phase wraparound effect, complex plane filter is utilized in this algorithm. The simulation and real data experiments show the algorithm can reduce the noises effectively and meanwhile preserve the interferogram fringes very well.展开更多
