The application discloses a
single polarization mode
interferometric synthetic aperture radar tree height phase decoupling method and
system, first, interferometric SAR data is acquired; then, a
plane equation is used to construct a
terrain height model, and a probability density function of the
interferometric phase is constructed to be converted into tree height data and
terrain height data; by constructing an
estimation function, difference between adjacent pixels is carried out, constant term separation in the
terrain height model is realized, and
phase gradient information is acquired; adjacent pixel tree height gradients are obtained by searching the estimated tree height gradients; finally, a
sparse matrix is constructed, adjacent tree height gradients are integrated to determine absolute tree height, real tree height is obtained by integration, and forest tree height is output. The method provided by the application introduces the
phase gradient theory into the tree height inversion field, so that the method can not only break through the limitation of the number of polarization channels, but also does not need to use
external reference DEM
prior information, and realizes tree height phase decoupling and inversion based on
single polarization InSAR data.
