Signal Theory and Communications Department. Campus Nord UPC - D3. ERS-1 SAR interferometry has been assessed over small areas. However, the development of an operational interferometric processor capable to process a quarter SLC scene running on a low-end workstation is a challenging task which requires new adaptive algorithms and blocking strategies in order to deal with a large amount of data. This paper summarizes the present status of an interferometric processor under development.
Special effort is dedicated to make it as automatic as possible.
LMS performs well when dealing with not too difficult relief. W-LMS has a higher computational load but it allows to isolate low coherence or hard to unwrap areas using masks. Some results are shown using ERS-1 data. At the D3-EEF Department such an interferometric processor is currently being developed and some promising results have been obtained. This article summarizes the present status of the processor development, along with the key algorithms and the latest results.
