精密单点定位(PPP)模糊度固定方法有3种:星间单差法、整数相位钟法和钟差解耦法,但目前仅法国CNES公开发布用于整数相位钟法PPP模糊度固定的产品,因此研究基于整数相位钟法的用户端PPP模糊度固定模型很有必要.本文分析了整数相位钟法PPP模糊度固定模型,着重指出该模型与传统浮点解PPP模型的区别;提出一种顾及质量控制的逐级模糊度固定策略用于具体实施PPP模糊度固定.大量动态PPP解算试验表明:与浮点解PPP相比,固定解PPP具有更快的收敛速度且定位精度和稳定性更好.     

The absolute positioning of spaceborne INSAR data using the integer ambiguity method

In this paper, the capability of the integer ambiguity method to find the absolute position of InSAR data is demonstrated. A radargrammetric model is used for the space triangulation. The method is demonstrated using ERS data of the Thames region and the results are compared to GPS measurements and a digital elevation model. The GPS stations, not visible in the image, are located on the InSAR data using a simple range-Doppler algorithm and an analysis of their positions is undertaken. The results are consistent with other methods but with the advantage that the radargrammetric model is very simple. The results also highlight the problems of integrating GPS data with InSAR data in urban areas where a GPS station may not be representative of the dominant scatterers within a resolution cell, and they suggest methods that might be applied in future to reduce this problem. The model should help the integration of InSAR data with other geometric survey data.     

基于SRTM DEM的InSAR高分辨率山区地表高程重建算法

山体的叠掩和阴影现象造成的信号去相关,一直是InSAR重建山区地表高程的瓶颈之一.为此,提出了一种新的基于粗分辨率SRTM DEM(约90m分辨率)辅助InSAR数据重建山区地表高程的方法.利用SRTM DEM模拟的干涉相位,对ERS-1/2干涉相位做去地形相位处理,得到残余相位.通过对解缠后的残余相位计算方差提取叠掩和阴影区域的噪声,并用平均相位近似恢复噪声区域的相位,然后将其转换为高程,并用SRTM DEM作高程补偿处理,从而实现地表高程重建.最后,定量比较了该方法与传统InSAR技术生成的DEM精度.实验表明,这种方法能有效提高传统InSAR技术生成地表高程的精度,这对提高星载雷达数据的使用效率具有重要意义.

Improved topographic mapping through high-resolution SAR interferometry with atmospheric effect removal

The application of SAR interferometry (InSAR) in topographic mapping is usually limited by geometric/temporal decorrelations and atmospheric effect, particularly in repeat-pass mode. In this paper, to improve the accuracy of topographic mapping with high-resolution InSAR, a new approach to estimate and remove atmospheric effect has been developed. Under the assumptions that there was no ground deformation within a short temporal period and insignificant ionosphere interference on high-frequency radar signals, e.g. X-bands, the approach was focused on the removal of two types of atmospheric effects, namely tropospheric stratification and turbulence. Using an available digital elevation model (DEM) of moderate spatial resolution, e.g. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM, a differential interferogram was firstly produced from the high-resolution InSAR data pair. A linear regression model between phase signal and auxiliary elevation was established to estimate the stratified atmospheric effect from the differential interferogram. Afterwards, a combination of a low-pass and an adaptive filter was employed to separate the turbulent atmospheric effect. After the removal of both types of atmospheric effects in the high-resolution interferogram, the interferometric phase information incorporating local topographic details was obtained and further processed to produce a high-resolution DEM. The feasibility and effectiveness of this approach was validated by an experiment with a tandem-mode X-band COSMO-SkyMed InSAR data pair covering a mountainous area in Northwestern China. By using a standard Chinese national DEM of scale 1:50,000 as the reference, we evaluated the vertical accuracy of InSAR DEM with and without atmospheric effects correction, which shows that after atmospheric signal correction the root-mean-squared error (RMSE) has decreased from 13.6 m to 5.7 m. Overall, from this study a significant improvement to derive topographic maps with high accuracy has been achieved by using the proposed approach.

Precise GRACE baseline determination using GPS

Precision relative navigation is an essential aspect of spacecraft formation flying missions, both from an operational and a scientific point of view. When using GPS as a relative distance sensor, dual-frequency receivers are required for high accuracy at large inter-satellite separations. This allows for a correction of the relative ionospheric path delay and enables double difference integer ambiguity resolution. Although kinematic relative positioning techniques demonstrate promising results for hardware-in-the-loop simulations, they were found to lack an adequate robustness in real-world applications. To overcome this limitation, an extended Kalman Filter modeling the relative spacecraft dynamics has been developed. The filter processes single difference GPS pseudorange and carrier phase observations to estimate the relative position and velocity along with empirical accelerations and carrier phase ambiguities. In parallel, double difference carrier phase ambiguities are resolved on both frequencies using the least square ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA) method in order to fully exploit the inherent measurement accuracy. The combination of reduced dynamic filtering with the LAMBDA method results in smooth relative position estimates as well as fast and reliable ambiguity resolution. The proposed method has been validated with data from the gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) mission. For an 11-day data arc, the resulting solution matches the GRACE K-Band Ranging System measurements with an accuracy of 1 mm, whereby 83% of the double difference ambiguities are resolved.     

Fusion of high-resolution DEMs derived from COSMO-SkyMed and TerraSAR-X InSAR datasets

Voids caused by shadow, layover, and decorrelation usually occur in digital elevation models (DEMs) of mountainous areas that are derived from interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) datasets. The presence of voids degrades the quality and usability of the DEMs. Thus, void removal is considered as an integral part of the DEM production using InSAR data. The fusion of multiple DEMs has been widely recognized as a promising way for the void removal. Because the vertical accuracy of multiple DEMs can be different, the selection of optimum weights becomes a key problem in the fusion and is studied in this article. As a showcase, two high-resolution InSAR DEMs near Mt. Qilian in northwest China are created and then merged. The two pairs of InSAR data were acquired by TerraSAR-X from an ascending orbit and COSMO-SkyMed from a descending orbit. A maximum likelihood fusion scheme with the weights optimally determined by the height of ambiguity and the variance of phase noise is adopted to syncretize the two DEMs in our study. The fused DEM has a fine spatial resolution of 10 m and depicts the landform of the study area well. The percentage of void cells in the fused DEM is only 0.13 %, while 6.9 and 5.7 % of the cells in the COSMO-SkyMed DEM and the TerraSAR-X DEM are originally voids. Using the ICESat/GLAS elevation data and the Chinese national DEM of scale 1:50,000 as references, we evaluate vertical accuracy levels of the fused DEM as well as the original InSAR DEMs. The results show that substantial improvements could be achieved by DEM fusion after atmospheric phase screen removal. The quality of fused DEM can even meet the high-resolution terrain information (HRTI) standard.     

空间网络对时序InSAR相位解缠的影响——以Delaunay与Dijkstra网络为例EI北大核心CSCD

在时间序列InSAR相位解缠的过程中,相干目标需事先构建空间网络之后再进行模糊度解算。Delaunay三角网是当前时序相位解缠的主流构网方法,但其网络形态易包含高相位梯度的边缘,导致违背相位连续性假设。考虑到目前很少有关于空间网络对解缠影响的研究及相位解缠对InSAR技术测量精度的主导地位,本文在量化分析Delaunay网络对解缠影响的基础上,提出引入图论中的Dijkstra最短路径算法优化Delaunay网络中所有边的相位梯度,进而改善时序相位解缠的精度。本文采用模拟和真实数据对基于Delaunay网络和基于优化网络的相位解缠进行了对比验证。结果表明,本文提出的构网方法能够更好地满足相位连续性假设,减少约33%由解缠误差所导致的不闭合三角环数。较传统研究聚焦解缠方法和目标函数的改进而言,本文研究揭示了空间网络的改善对时间序列相位解缠的重要性。

A case study of using external DEM in InSAR DEM generation

Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) has been used as an innovative technique for digital elevation model (DEM) and topographic map generation. In this paper, external DEMs are used for InSAR DEM generation to reduce the errors in data processing. The DEMs generated from repeat-pass InSAR are compared. For steep slopes and severe changes in topography, phase unwrapping quality can be improved by subtracting the phase calculated from an external DEM. It is affirmative that the absolute height accuracy of the InSAR DEM is improved by using external DEM. The data processing was undertaken without the use of ground control points and other manual operation.
