Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Layover is a ubiquitous phenomenon in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and arises when different off-nadir angle receive signals are mixed in the same range-azimuth resolution cell. This paper addresses concerns the layover problem only with one interferometric pair of SAR images. The proposed method allows to suppress to scatterers on an arbitrarily inclined plane to take advantage of null steering technique. The result shows that the layover suppression technique performs well to observe scatterers on ground under scatterers fallen from the wall due to layover by using the single pass PiSAR-X dataset.
