  • Abstract
    We analyzed the correlation metric used in cross-track stereo SAR elevation estimation. We showed the resulting relationship that arises between false alarms and missed detections, for a range of processing and terrain conditions. We also derived and illustrated constraints between terrain slope, feasible height resolution, and SAR collection geometry.
