  • Patent number: 11747468
    Abstract: A system may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to obtain geospatially registered first and second interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) images of a geographic area having respective first and second actual grazing angles with a difference therebetween, and convert the first IFSAR image to a modified first IFSAR image having a modified first grazing angle based upon known terrain elevation data for the geographic area. The modified first grazing angle may be closer to the second actual grazing angle than the first actual grazing angle. The processor may further recover updated terrain elevation data for the geographic area based upon the modified first IFSAR image and the second IFSAR image.
