InSAR results from the RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Mission data: estimation of glacier motion using a simple registration procedure

An interferometric method is used to derive ice motion from RADARSAT data collected during the Antarctic Mapping Mission. Although one cannot solve for both topography and ice motion using one interferometric pair, it is possible to use a coarsely sampled digital terrain model to estimate ice motion...

More Information
Summary:An interferometric method is used to derive ice motion from RADARSAT data collected during the Antarctic Mapping Mission. Although one cannot solve for both topography and ice motion using one interferometric pair, it is possible to use a coarsely sampled digital terrain model to estimate ice motion using an image registration method. Less accurate than the usual fringe counting method for estimation of radial displacement, the image registration method allows useful motion estimation in both range and azimuth. The method is described and some results shown for a large area (/spl sim/17000 km/sup 2/) including ice flow into the Filchner Ice Shelf.
