This is made possible through the creation of backward- and forward-looking Single-Look-Complex (SLC) data. Then, the phase difference between the backward and forward-looking interferogram is translated into a displacement. Using SLC data, MAI requires a proper azimuth splitband operator. Different techniques exist to split the azimuth band, but they are often too briefly described in the MAI literature. In this conference paper, we analyze the signal properties of the Sentinel-1 TOPS acquisition mode and define an azimuth subbanding protocol. In particular, we look at the role of de-apodization and apodization in the band filtering operation.

Since the estimation accuracy depends on the inverse of number of interferograms and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it is necessary to use as many as possible interferograms in order to achieve more accurate result. However, the number of interferograms of TanDEM-X data is generally limited for most areas. Therefore, in order to maintain the estimation accuracy, one feasible way is to increase the SNR. In this work, we proposed a novel framework, which integrates the non-local procedure into SAR tomography inversion and combines the robust estimation. A large-scale demonstration has been carried out with five TanDEM-X bistatic data, which covers the entire city of Munich, Germany. Quantitative evaluation of the reconstructed result with the LiDAR reference exhibits the standard deviation of the height difference is within two meters, which implies the proposed framework has great potential for high quality large-scale 3-D urban modeling.","PeriodicalId":315312,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123543530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is difficult to obtain sufficient labeled samples in real-world applications. To solve this issue, a novel hyperspectral image (HSI) classification method based on polygonal partition is proposed for crop mapping. This method only needs single sample per class as an initial training set. Specifically, multiscale polygonal partition is applied on the first three components of the HSI. Then, a spectral similarity-based sample expansion method is proposed to obtain more labeled samples. Next, a pixel-wise classifier, the support vector machine (SVM), is used to acquire an initial classification result. Finally, classification result is further optimized according to the partition maps. Experimental results show that classification performance of the proposed method is satisfactory even when the number of labeled sample is single for each class.","PeriodicalId":315312,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126623618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a novel Doppler centroid frequency estimation method for HRWS-SAR system based on modified shuffled frog leafing algorithm (MSFLA). Firstly, the cost function is designed based on the average power difference between ambiguities and useful signal. Then, the MLSFA algorithm is proposed to accomplish the DC estimation. Finally, a good HRWS-SAR image is obtained based on the estimated DC. Compared with the traditional time-domain based DC estimation methods, the proposed method is not affected by the troubled cross-terms induced by high-order moments. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the simulation experiments and real-measured SAR data.","PeriodicalId":315312,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126638279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Delayed Doppler Map (DDM) is one of the most important data acquired by GNSS-R receivers. We make use of four DDM-based observations (DDM average (DDMA), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), leading edge slope (LES) of Integrated Delay Waveform (IDW) and Normalized Bistatic Radar Cross Section (NBRCS)) to retrieve sea surface wind speed. We first propose a data filtering method based on the LES of IDW for data quality control. This method selects high -quality DDM data by adjusting LES threshold. Then, four wind speed inversion models are developed by using the four observations calculated from the clean DDM data. On this basis, five more wind speed inversion models are developed by using five weighted combinations of the four individual models. The nine models are tested and the results show that the wind speed estimation accuracy of the combined DDMA+NBRCS+SNR+LES model is respectively improved by 23.53%, 13.90%, 25.06% and 14.70% compared with the individual models of DDMA, SNR, LES, and NBRCS in the wind speed range of 0–20 m/s.
