A growing interest of students on ITC Enschede and the promising
applications of interferometry demanded an introduction to
interferometry. Therefore, this dissertation report gives an
overview of the technique, the interpretation and processing. After
reading this report, students should be able to select and process
data and interpret the results.
Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SAR) is the tool, which
is used to acquire data. Due to geometrical distortions,
radar images demand careful interpretation.
The essential theory
is discussed in theory of interferometry . Using some
simple equations, which can be skipped, and examples, the basics of
interferometry are explained.
Interferograms are very sensitive, also to
distortions
. The weather, vegetation and
the soil can disturb an interferogram and can
easily lead to misinterpretations.
A short overview of processing steps
should help students to process their own interferometrical
products.
On the Internet there is much more to read about
interferometry. Here are some links that might be helpful or
