Metric relations in INSAR topographic modeling

摘要

Scalar formulation of metric relations having relevance to satellite topographic interferometry served as a basis for several original concepts, which provided an importnat aid for significant methodological improvements and simplification to the main operatons of the INSAR data processing, including flat terrain phase correction, interferometric phase unwrapping and differnetial analysis. Topographic heights and slopes of several of hte largest ice caps in Franz Josef Lan, Russian High Arctic were derived fro mthe repeat-pass INSAR data acquired in September nad October 1995 without previous phase unwrappoing yet without compromising on accuracy.
