dc.description.abstractSynthetic Aperture Rada Interferometry (InSAR) is a relatively new remote sensing technique, which can be used to derive precise topographic height change information over large areas. It is a technique which has been used in a great variety of situations, from the topographic mapping of Venus to the detection of subtle ground deformations due to earthquakes and mining subsidence. The InSAR technique involves using the phase information inherent in radar images to extract elevation and elevation change information. The process requires very careful co-registration of a pair of complex images of the same scene, followed by the multiplication of the one image by the complex conjugate of the other. In this manner, a phase difference image, or interferogram is generated, in which subtle differences in the distances from the two imaging sensors to the ground are mapped, thereby making it possible to generate a height model of the ground surface. An extension to the InSAR technique, is that of difference image, or interferogram is generated, in which subtle differences in the distances from the two imaging sensors to the ground are mapped, thereby making it possible to generate a height model of the ground surface.en_ZA
