Toward efficient and accurate InSAR elevation modeling via Dimensionality-Reduced MAP estimation
摘要
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been widely used in terrain mapping due to its high spatial resolution and all-weather capability. However, the presence of significant noise and redundant information in interferograms often limits the accuracy of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) reconstruction. This paper proposes an improved Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimation method enhanced with Principal Component Analysis (PCA). By extracting the dominant features from high-dimensional interferometric data, the approach effectively suppresses noise and reduces dimensionality, thus improving computational efficiency while maintaining high reconstruction accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves comparable accuracy to conventional MAP algorithms, with a nearly 20-fold increase in processing speed, making it highly suitable for large-scale data applications.
