Abstract

This letter discusses some aspects of the implementation of Delta-k methods for shift estimation with synthetic aperture radar images. In particular, it shows that a common Delta-k algorithm, which postpones the multilooking to the differential interferogram and is therefore robust to the presence of interferometric fringes in the averaging window, does not reach the maximum possible performance and should be better considered as a variant of incoherent cross-correlation. A small adaptation, retaining some multilooking at interferogram level, can significantly improve the efficiency.
