The multitemporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technique based on distributed scatterers (DSs) has been widely applied in high-precision deformation measurements, which compensates for the drawback that the persistent scatterer InSAR technique does not obtain sufficient monitoring points, especially in rural areas. Considering that DS pixels are susceptible to various decorrelation factors, it is necessary to retrieve the optimal phase series by phase optimization algorithms (POAs). However, conventional POAs rely on a sample covariance matrix or complex coherence matrix (CCM) derived by spatially averaging statistically homogeneous pixel neighborhoods, which may blur and destroy phase information, especially in dense fringe areas. To overcome this limitation, an adaptive POA is proposed in this article. The adaptive POA artificially constructs a superior CCM by the filtered interferometric phase, which is derived through spatial adaptive filtering approach fusion of principal phase component estimation and fast nonlocal means filtering, and an accurate coherence matrix determined via coherence estimation bias correction. Moreover, the modified eigen-decomposition-based maximum-likelihood-estimator of the interferometric phase (EMI) with coherence-power-weighting is proposed to further improve the estimation precision and computational efficiency. The estimated CCM is then processed with the modified coherence-power-weighted EMI algorithm, and the optimal phase history is retrieved. The experimental results validated against both simulated and Sentinel-1A data demonstrate the superior optimization performance and robustness of the adaptive POA over traditional POAs. |
