Multidimensional Imaging with ERS Data

The work aims to present results of a multidimensional imaging experiment carried out by processing longterm repeat pass ERS data. In particular we address the topic of full 3D reconstruction, and we show the capability of ERS system to separate, using multibaseline data, different scattering centres in the elevation direction, interfering in the same resolution cell. Furthermore, first result of the extension of the 3D imaging to time will be shown to demonstrate the potentialities of SAR systems to monitor slow moving interfering scattering centres.
