Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to develop and evaluate a pragmatic approach to obtain an InSAR stochastic model for reduced InSAR datasets. This goal is achieved by calculation of the stochastic parameters per InSAR stack, propagating the noise structure to reduced datasets. The propagation of full covariance matrices when using a reduced dataset in space and time is avoided, using the derived analytical functions. This way, a computationally efficient approximation of the exact covariance matrix is obtained for reduced datasets.
