Inhalt:
This paper generalizes a multibaseline interferometric SAR signal model to the polarimetric configuration. Based on this formulation, two high-performance array signal processing techniques are adapted to analyze multibaseline POL-InSAR observations. These new methods enhance the height estimation of scatterers by calculating optimal polarization combi- nations and allow the determination of their physical characteristics. Applying the algorithms to urban environments, the building layover problem is resolved by means of polarimetric dual-baseline InSAR measurements: Up to two compo- nents within one azimuth-range resolution cell are separated. The techniques are tested using dual-baseline Pol-InSAR data acquired by DLR’s E-SAR system over Dresden city.
