Abstract
- Differential synthetic aperture radar tomography (D-TomoSAR), similar to its conventional counterparts such as differential interferometric SAR and persistent scatterer interferometry, is only capable of capturing 1-D deformation along the satellite's line of sight. In this paper, we propose a method based on L1-norm minimization within local spatial cubes to reconstruct 3-D displacement vectors from TomoSAR point clouds available from at least three different viewing geometries. The methodology is applied on two pairs of cross-heading—combination of ascending and descending—TerraSAR-X (TS-X) spotlight image stacks over the city of Berlin. The linear deformation rate and the amplitude of seasonal deformation are decomposed, and the results from two test sites with remarkable deformation pattern are discussed in detail. The results, to our knowledge, demonstrate the first attempt for motion decomposition using TomoSAR data from multiple viewing geometries. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
