Abstract
The Kalman filter deals simultaneously with phase unwrapping and noise elimination procedure. But the errors produced by the original radar signal and post-processing can cause phase discontinuity so that the unwrapped result is not accurate. Therefore, the weighted Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm based on InSAR image is proposed. Through the low-quality region where the wrapped phase is masked, the Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm is implemented in the high-quality region. When the high-quality region is correctly unwrapped, the weighted Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm is implemented in masking off the low-quality region, and as a consequence a reliable result is obtained. In this paper InSAR data is chosen for performing the experiment, and for comparison with both a network flow algorithm and a quality map guided algorithm. It is subsequently verified that the proposed algorithm is effective and reliable.
