Radar Interferometry, 2006 Persistent Scatterer Technique Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing Series, Vol. 12

This volume is devoted to the Persistent Scatterer Technique, the latest development in radar interferometric data processing. It is the only book on

Permanent Scatterer (PS) technique of radar interferometry, and it details a newly developed stochastic model and estimator algorithm to cope with possible problems for the application of the PS technique. The STUN (spatio-temporal unwrapping network) algorithm, developed to cope with these issues in a robust way, is presented and applied to two test sites.

Only book on Permanent Scatterer technique of radar interferometry

Explains the Permanent Scatterer technique in detail, possible pitfalls, and details a newly developed stochastic model and estimator algorithm to cope with possible problems for the application of the PS technique

The use of Permanent Scatterer allows very precise measurements of the displacement of hundreds of points per square kilometer

Describes the only technique currently able to perform displacement measurements in the past, utilizing the ERS satellite data archive using data acquired from 1992-present

Shows how to interpret results obtained by radar interferometry
