Sorting reliability algorithm for three-dimensional shoreline change simulation using ENVISAT interferometry

Abstract

The paper implemented three-dimensional sorting reliabilities algorithm (3-DSR) for interferometrie synthetic aperture radar data (InSAR) phase unwrapping to simulate rate changes of shoreline. The main aim of 3-DSR is to solve the decorrelation problem. Therefore, 3-DSR algorithm has implemented to model the three-dimensional (3-D) coastline deformation using ENVISAT ASAR satellite data. In conclusion, the 3-DSR algorithm can be used to solve the problem of decorrelation and produced accurate 3-D coastline deformation using with standard error of mean of ± 0.05 m.
