The invention belongs to the technical field of synthetic aperture radars, and relates to an InSAR sequence time decoherence suppression method based on a complex
covariance matrix, and the specific process is as follows: for a plurality of input SLC SAR image complex vectors, extracting a single-pixel p-dimensional complex scattering vector at a pixel x, and generating an initial complex
covariance matrix; the method comprises the following steps: generating a rectangular search window Wx by taking a pixel x as a center, aiming at
multiple input SLC SAR image complex vectors, extracting a p-dimensional complex scattering vector of a
single pixel at a pixel y in the search window, and generating a reference complex
covariance matrix; enabling the pixel y to
traverse each pixel except the pixel x in the rectangular search window Wx, and calculating a maximum likelihood test statistic Q (x, y) according to the initial complex
covariance matrix and the reference complex
covariance matrix; and based on a complex
covariance matrix # imgabs0 # estimated by Q (x, y), extracting the intensity, the phase and the
correlation coefficient of the InSAR sequence after de-coherence suppression at the pixel x from the complex covariance matrix # imgabs0 #, and finally obtaining a
time sequence de-coherence suppression result of the complete SAR interferogram sequence.
