  • Abstract
    This paper presents a closed formulation to evaluate the quality of terrain deformation maps obtained with multi-image differential interferometry. The analytical formulation, based on the application of the asymptotic covariance matrix, that propagates the interferogram coherences to the linear deformation and DEM error accuracies when using a stack of interferograms, is developed and validated with real data from the ERS satellites.
