Part B InSAR processing: a practical roach __________________________________________________________Selecting ERS images for InSAR processing 1. Selecting ERS images for InSAR processing 1.1 Introduction Selection of SAR images suitable for interferometry use is the first step to be carried out for any interferometric processing. It is a key step, since the criteria adopted for selection of the images h e strong impact on the quality of the final results. These criteria depend upon the specific lication for which the SAR interferometric images are required. In this chapter a few selection criteria will be given concerning the two most important InSAR lications: Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation and Differential Interferometry (DInSAR). In particular, we shall analyse how to select the following parameters in order to get the best results from the SAR interferometric analysis: • View angle (ascending and descending passes) • Geometrical baseline • Temporal baseline • Time of the acquisition • Coherence • Meteorological conditions Before starting the analysis of the selection criteria, it is worthwhile spending a few words on the information ailable about ERS images. 1.2 ailable information about ERS images 1.2.1 The ESA on-line multi-mission catalogue A list of ERS images acquired over a cer n area is easy to ob n, thanks to the EOLI , ailable at the ropriate ESA/ESRIN site [EOLI]. This allows the user to perform fast inventory searches on the major ESA-supported missions, by means of a user-friendly graphic interface. All images acquired over the area of interest can easily be identified. Moreover,
