AT76.28 Principles and Application of InSAR

Course Objective: The objectives of this course are: i) to provide background knowledge and understanding of principles of InSAR; iii) to acquire skills on basic InSAR and DInSAR image processing and analysis as well as basic knowledge on main limitations and error sources of these techniques; iv) to enable critical, spatial and temporal thinking on InSAR for real-world applications.

Learning Outcomes:
The students on the completion of this course would be able to:
1. Evaluate critically the principles of INSAR and DInSAR systems
2. Search and download relevant SAR data required for a certain InSAR and DInSAR –based project/purpose.
3. Perform basic signal processing techniques for InSAR and DInSAR imaging using publicly available software packages and SAR data.
4. Visually interpret in a qualitative way InSAR and DInSAR output images and interferograms.
5. Gain insight into the strengths and limitations InSAR and DInSAR systems and applications.
