Abstract:
In this paper the Multichannel Phase Unwrapping problem in urban areas characterized by sharp discontinuities is addressed. A comparison of different Multichannel phase techniques is presented: Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Likelihood with Local Planes and Maximum a Posteriori approaches is proposed. In particular, the usefulness of the contextual information, deterministic and statistic, is assessed. The presented algorithms are tested and compared on a simulated dataset.
