Abstract
A joint-pixel clutter suppression method based on slope compensation is proposed in this paper. In order to eliminate the effect of the terrain interferometric phase caused by the cross-track baseline in hybrid baseline InSAR, the local independent identical distribution of the clutter is satisfied by using the slope compensation technique, and thus the clutter can be suppressed successfully by using the orthogonality of the clutter subspace and the noise subspace. This approach utilizes the information contained in the current pixel as well as in its neighbors, showing robustness to the image coregistration errors. Both the simulated data and the real airborne data are used in proving the validity of the presented approach.
