ESA SNAP – StaMPS Integrated Processing for Sentinel-1 Persistent Scatterer Interferometry
Abstract
Recent development by European Space Agency (ESA) involved the extension of the interferometric capabilities of the SentiNel Application Platform (SNAP) to enable SAR interferometric time series analysis through Stanford Method of Persistent Scatterer (StaMPS). In the current work, we demonstrate the enabled Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) of Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission data through SNAP-StaMPS integrated processing. A detailed overview of the processing steps involved as well as considerations and assumptions to exploit the SNAP-StaMPS synergy are presented. We intended to support the Earth Observation community by providing guidelines for Sentinel-1 TOPS data PSI processing using open source software packages. We demonstrated the SNAP functionality by processing two stacks of Sentinel-1 products over Mexico City (Mexico) and Rome (Italy).
