摘要
Compensating the residual motion error (RME) is very important in airborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). In this paper, the wavelet decomposition and polynomial fitting-based (WDPF) method is proposed for detecting and correcting the RME. Wavelet decomposition with root-mean-square error (RMSE) change ratio-based decomposition scale identification is used to detect the RME from the differential interferogram. Polynomial fitting in combination with robust estimation-based least squares is used to absorb the incidence-angle-dependent and topography-dependent components of the RME. A simulated experiment was conducted to test the proposed WDPF method. High-precision RME (with an RMSE of 0.0375 rad) was obtained, which can meet the requirements of InSAR. Real-data L-and P-band InSAR experiments were also performed to test the WDPF method. The results confirmed that the WDPF method can effectively correct the RME for the interferogram. The RMSE of the estimated digital elevation model (DEM) was reduced from 8.03 to 3.46 m and 8.18 to 3.10 m for the L- and P-band interferograms, respectively. Finally, the effects of the external DEM error and polarization on the RME calibration were investigated. The results indicated that the global InSAR DEM products can fulfill the requirement of differential interferogram generation for the WDPF method, and the multipolarization interferograms can help to reduce the effect of the topographic error phase on RME estimation.
