Abstract
: Joint three-dimensional location algorithms aim to simultaneously obtain the north, east, and height coordinates of each pixel in several adjacent Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) scenes. Joint calibration is a key procedure used to achieve an accurate three-dimensional location. It can ensure the continuity of three-dimensional locations among adjacent scenes, and achieve the location of large areas with few Ground Control Points (GCPs) using Tie Points (TPs). In this paper, a new joint calibration algorithm for airborne interferometric SAR that simultaneously calibrates north, east, and height coordinates is proposed. It employs a weighted optimization method to carry out calibration, and introduces weights to calibration to discriminate GCPs and TPs with different coherences and locations. The experimental results for airborne InSAR data show that the three-dimensional location accuracy obtained using the proposed calibration algorithm is better than that obtained using the traditional method.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Radars was founded in 2012 by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Information Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (formerly the Institute of Electronics) and the China Radar Industry Association (CRIA), which is located in the high-end academic journal and academic exchange platform in the field of radar, and is committed to promoting and leading the scientific and technological development in the field of radar. The journal can publish Chinese papers and English papers, and is now a bimonthly journal.
Journal of Radars focuses on theory, originality and foresight, and its scope of coverage mainly includes: radar theory and system, radar signal and data processing technology, radar imaging technology, radar identification and application technology.
Journal of Radars has been included in domestic core journals and foreign Scopus, Ei and other databases, and was selected as ‘China's high-quality science and technology journals’, and ranked the first in the category of electronic technology and communication technology in the ‘Chinese Core Journals List (2023 Edition)’.
