EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing

  Special Issue on

  Advances in Interferometric Synthetic
  Aperture Radar Processing

Interferometric methods have successfully expanded in the last
two decades the remote-sensing capabilities of high-resolution
synthetic aperture radar (SAR), providing efficient
operational topographic mapping and displacement monitoring
tools for land and ice applications, and promising techniques
for surface ocean velocity sensing and forest parameters
estimation. The need for advanced signal processing techniques
within the interferometric SAR processing field is continuously
increasing, for improving existing functionalities, producing
novel parameter extraction capabilities, and fully exploiting
the potentials originated by new complex experimented and
planned interferometric SAR sensor systems.

This special issue is seeking original research contributions
in the development and assessment of advanced models and new
signal processing algorithms in the interferometric SAR field,
with an approach oriented towards the exploitation of
statistical methods and of (baseline, time, frequency,
or polarization) acquisition diversity, to face the challenges
of an accurate, reliable, and fully capable interferometric
radar remote sensing and to deal with increasingly various
and difficult scenarios.

In particular, papers are concerned with the fertilization and
application of methods and concepts from areas such as
filtering, parameter estimation, detection, spectral
estimation, array processing, model inversion, data fusion,
and phenomenological-or physical-based statistical modeling.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 o Spatial/spatial-temporal phase unwrapping
 o Multibaseline/multifrequency unwrapping
 o Multipass differential interferometry
 o Polarimetric interferometry
 o Multibaseline/multifrequency/multi-incidence angle model inversion
 o 3D SAR tomography
 o Multibaseline/multifrequency along-track interferometry
 o Joint along-track cross-track interferometry
 o Multiplatform interferometry
 o Wideband interferometry
 o Ground-based interferometry
 o Multistatic interferometry
