The CKFPUA (conventional Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm) can obtain reliable results in the flat terrain areas, but it caused error transmission not making the accurate inversion of surface deformation information in the steep terrain. Considering this situation, so it needs to introduce topographic information for guiding phase unwrapping. Here the 90 m resolution DEM data have been used and it is obtained by SRTM (shuttle radar topography mission) measured jointly by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and NIMA (National Imaging Mapping Agency) of U.S. Department of Defense. This paper presents a SD-KFPUA (Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm) based on SRTM DEM. With SRTM DEM directing InSAR image to implement phase unwrapping, the speed and accuracy are improved. By analyzing with the conventional Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithms, it is shown that the proposed method can achieve good results in particular to improve unwrapping accuracy in the low coherence region.展开更多

The proposed algorithm first detects the residues on the wrapped phase image, applies wavelet analysis to generate the blocking-lines that can just connect the residues of opposite polarity, then carries out the morphology operation to extract the closed contour of the shape, and finally uses the modulation intensity information and the Laplacian of Gaussian operation of the wrapped phase image as the quality map. The unwrapping process is completed from a region of high reliability to that of low reliability and the blocking-lines can prevent the phase error propagation effectively. Furthermore, by using the extracted closed contour to exclude the invalid areas from the phase unwrapping process, the algorithm becomes more efficient. The experiment shows the effec-tiveness of the new algorithm.展开更多
