Patent ID: 11543517

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for phase unwrapping of an SAR interferogram based on an SAR offset tracking surface displacement model, in which the apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image acquisition unit that acquires two SAR images of a same object acquired at different times, a single look complex (SLC) image production unit that produces two SLC images corresponding to each of the two SAR images, an interferogram production unit that generates an SAR interferogram using SAR interferometry for the two SLC images, a surface displacement model production unit that produces an offset tracking surface displacement model using SAR offset tracking method for the two SLC images, an unwrapped residual interferogram generation unit that generates a residual interferogram by subtracting the SAR interferogram and the offset tracking surface displacement model, and generates an unwrapped residual interferogram by unwrapping the generated residual interferogram, and an unwrapped interferogram generation unit that generates an unwrapped SAR interferogram by adding the unwrapped residual interferogram to the offset tracking surface displacement model.
