Recent Interferometry Applications in Topography and Astronomy

Description

InTech, 2012, 220 pages, ISBN: 9535104049 9789535104049This book provides a current overview of the theoretical and experimental aspects of some interferometry techniques applied to Topography and Astronomy. Each chapter offers an opportunity to expand the knowledge about interferometry techniques and encourage researchers in development of new interferometry applications.The first two chapters comprise interferometry techniques used for precise measurement of surface topography in engineering applications; while chapters three through eight are dedicated to interferometry applications related to Earth's topography. The last chapter is an application of interferometry in Astronomy, directed specifically to detection of planets outside our solar system.Contents PrefaceCoherence Correlation Interferometry in Surface Topography MeasurementsSurface Micro Topography Measurement Using InterferometryAdvanced Multitemporal Phase Unwrapping Techniques for DlnSAR AnalysesSimulation of 3-D Coastal Spit Geomorphology Using Differential Synthetic Aperture Interferometry (DlnSAR)Local, Fine Co-Registration of SAR Interferometry Using the Number of Singular Points for the EvaluationRobust Interferometric Phase Estimation in InSAR via Joint Subspace ProjectionAirborne Passive Localization Method Based on Doppler-Phase Interference MeasuringExperiences in Boreal Forest Stem Volume Estimation from Multitemporal С-Band InSARInterferometry to Detect Planets Outside Our Solar System
