  • Publication number: 20050057391
    Abstract: A method that exploits the temporal, spatial and spectral characteristics of interferometric signatures collected from coherent point scatterers appearing in stacked Synthetic Aperture Radar frames. These points are bootstrapped by iteratively re-apportioning atmospheric and topographic phase contributions and refining the satellite ephemeris and the point height. Model results specific to coherent point scatterers are then extrapolated to surrounding areas. Measurements of deformation rates in the sub mm/year range and height differentials in the sub meter range are possible. Geo-spatially located coherent point scatterers are maintained in a database for correlation with other geo-spatial information.
