摘要: Sentinel-1卫星星座采用TOPS作为默认成像模式,要求方位向配准精度达到0.001像素以便确保相邻burst干涉图的相位偏差小于3°。ESD技术是消除几何配准系统误差、纠正方位向配准偏移量的有效方法,但在低相干性场景或快速去相关的条件下,该方法配准精度会随着相干的降低而衰减,并导致配准误差的传播,造成干涉图出现相位跳变。为解决这一问题,本文提出一种TOPS模式数据时间序列配准方法。该方法在图论框架下采用Bellman-Ford单源最短路径算法最大化时间网络的相干性并确保网络中包含多余观测,进而削弱平差过程中的误差传播。本文采用模拟数据和覆盖关中平原的真实数据对现有时序配准方法进行了对比验证。结果表明,本文方法能够有效提高TOPS时序配准的精度。

Abstract: TOPS mode is the default imaging mode of Sentinel-1 satellites, which requires an overall azimuth co-registration accuracy of 0.001 pixels to ensure that the interferometric phase difference of consecutive bursts is less than 3°. Although the ESD technique is an effective method to correct the azimuth residual shift, the accuracy will decrease due to the abrupt loss of coherence. To solve this issue, this paper presents a method to improve the accuracy of TOPS co-registration by maximizing time-series coherence. The method focuses on selecting interferometric pairs with optimal coherence and simultaneously preserve the temporal network loops by Bellman-Ford algorithm. The improvement of network can reduce the error propagation caused by low coherence during the least-squares adjustment, and therefore improve the performance of ESD estimation. Based on synthetic data and real data covering the Weihe plain, we evaluate the performance of proposed method against the state-of-the-art techniques. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
