Repeat pass SAR interferometry of the Pi-SAR (L) for DEM generation

This paper describes generation of the digital elevation model (DEM) using the L band repeat pass airborne polarimetric Interferometric SAR (Pi-SAR) system, which is jointly developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and National Institute for Communication Technology (NICT). An image pair acquired over the Tottori calibration site in 2000 had a baseline of less than hundred meters and was used for this interferometric data analysis. Although the quantitative evaluation has not been conducted, the result shows that the detailed feature of the topography in the target area was well obtained
