Advanced InSAR processing in the footsteps of SqueeSAR

Several years ago a promising approach for processing InSAR time series was introduced under the name SqueeSAR [1]. The successful application of this framework poses some delicate questions. This paper focuses on the problem that real data do rarely behave perfectly Gaussian. An augmentation of the stochastic model underlying the phase linking step is presented and the applicability under the assumption of complex elliptically symmetric distribution is discussed. Results from tests with two time series of TerraSAR-X HRS data are presented and preliminary conclusions drawn.
