TerraSAR-X StripMap Data Interpretation of Complex Urban Scenarios with 3D SAR Tomography

The severe layover problem of complex urban scenarios in SAR data makes SAR data interpretation very difficult, especially for nonexperts. In this paper, we use 3D SAR tomography for SAR data interpretation of dense urban areas. An efficient and robust approach named Butterworth-filter based singula...
