Abstract

Very high resolution InSAR image pairs include a tremendous information content compared to single images. There exist several RGB false color image products to improve the visualization and the interpretation of InSAR image pairs by using deduced image features. In this paper the two different products: the interferometric land use (ILU) image and the Coefficient of Variation-Amplitude Coherence (CoVAmCoh) image are compared. Especially the potential for the interpretation of high resolution space borne SAR images is discussed and assessed.
