Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving earth surface shape change monitoring precision of an InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology based on a high-precision DEM (Digital Elevation Model). The method comprises five steps below: step 1, generating an interferogram by using radar data; step 2, generating a differential interference phase diagram; step 3, establishing error phases and performing feature analysis; step 4, establishing an error phase optimal function calibration model; step 5, recovering earth surface shape change information of a monitoring region based on results of steps 2 and 4. According to the invention, the error phases and elevation values or the error phases, the elevations and coordinate values along a distance/azimuth of different regions of a research region are extracted, the optimal function calibration models of the error phases of corresponding regions are established respectively based on a least square method, and a simulative error phase is finally removed from the differential interference phase diagram to further recover shape change information along a direction of a sight line of a radar in the monitoring region. The method for improving the earth surface shape change monitoring precision of the InSAR technology based on the high-precision DEM has practical value and wide application foreground in the application field of a satellite borne synthetic aperture radar monitoring technology for earth surface shape change.
