Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of remote sensing image processing, and in particular to an InSAR interferometric phase unwrapping method for a region with complex terrain. Background Art
[0002] The core of InSAR technology for monitoring surface deformation is to restore the geometric and deformation characteristics of ground monitoring targets by acquiring the phase information between the radar and the ground targets, and it is highly sensitive to small surface deformations. Due to the changes in the radar's two observation conditions, including the radar orbit deviation, the change in the backscattering characteristics of the ground objects, and the influence of noise, the coherence of the radar signals of the ground targets obtained twice is reduced, making it difficult to complete the phase unwrapping of the radar targets with discrete spatial distribution. In addition, the baseline error of the radar satellite, the inaccuracy of the external DEM data introduced, and the influence of atmospheric fluctuations at the time of the two observations of the radar satellite, all these factors will reduce the accuracy of the results of InSAR technology monitoring surface deformation. To address this problem, there are currently two commonly used solutions: one is the traditional synthetic aperture radar differential interferometry technology (D-InSAR); the other is based on the time series analysis technology of coherent point targets with stable scattering characteristics.
[0003] Due to the periodicity of trigonometric functions, the interference phase is entangled between (-π, π] and cannot reflect the actual ground elevation. The process of restoring the entangled phase to the real phase corresponding to the terrain elevation is called phase unwrapping. Ideally, the purpose of phase unwrapping can be achieved by extracting the phase gradients in the azimuth and range directions, and then integrating the gradients along the azimuth and range directions. However, due to the influence of factors such as terrain slope undersampling, overlap, shadow, and low signal-to-noise ratio, the actual data will cause discontinuity of the interference phase data, thereby causing phase unwrapping errors. The complexity of the interference phase makes phase unwrapping always a difficult and hot topic in research.
[0004] In the early InSAR technology system, phase unwrapping is often based on a single baseline. Such technologies are based on the phase continuity assumption. However, in areas with large terrain fluctuations such as mountainous areas, the phase continuity assumption does not hold. Therefore, the early phase unwrapping technology based on a single baseline is prone to phase jumps in areas with large terrain fluctuations such as mountainous areas, and high-precision true phase results cannot be obtained. To this end, researchers have developed some phase unwrapping methods based on multiple baselines in recent years, so that the phase unwrapping process no longer relies on the phase continuity assumption, and has achieved certain results. However, the existing multi-baseline phase unwrapping method considers a new assumption, that is, it is assumed that the surface has not undergone significant deformation during the acquisition of time series SAR images. Obviously, this assumption is generally satisfied, but in areas with more artificial activities or complex geological conditions, the surface often deforms over time, and the assumption cannot be established, which leads to defects in the existing methods and the accuracy needs to be further improved. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to propose an InSAR interferometric phase unwrapping method for complex terrain areas. By using InSAR technology, interferometric phase unwrapping can be accurately performed, which greatly expands the measurement range of traditional interferometric radars. The unwrapping efficiency is high, and the defects caused by the inapplicability of the phase continuity assumption and the invariant surface elevation assumption in traditional algorithms are avoided, thereby improving the phase unwrapping accuracy.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present invention provides an InSAR interferometric phase unwrapping method for a region with complex terrain, the improvement of which is as follows:

[0021]
[0022] Step 2-4, since the s-1th pixel and the s-th pixel are adjacent pixels, let the elevation difference between them Δh(s)-Δh(s-1)=0, combine the first relationship model and the second relationship model, and for each interference image pair, establish a third relationship model of the absolute phase difference and the integer cycle difference between the s-th pixel and the s-1th pixel according to the time sequence:

[0036] Step 3-3-2, using the GPS information to invert and obtain the integer number corresponding to the point;
[0037] Step 3-3-3, perform integer integration on the high-quality area to obtain the integer corresponding to each pixel in the high-quality area.
