一种多尺度最优窗选择与多锥窗融合的改进Goldstein干涉相位滤波方法

A Modified Goldstein Interferometric Phase Filtering Method Based on Multi-Scale Optimal Window Selection and Multi-Taper Estimation

  • 摘要: 针对合成孔径雷达干涉测量(interferometric synthetic aperture radar, InSAR)中干涉相位在低相干区域易受散斑噪声与去相关影响,导致条纹破碎并诱发解缠误差扩散的问题,改进Goldstein类频域滤波在低相干条件下,存在局部谱估计方差大、噪声底分离不稳定,以及分块重建易产生块状伪影等不足。为解决上述问题,提出了一种结合多尺度最优窗选择与多锥窗格点融合的改进Goldstein干涉相位滤波方法(optimal-scale multi-taper and multi-offset lattice enhanced Goldstein filter, OS-MML-GF)。该方法首先在局部谱估计中引入多锥窗功率谱估计以有效降低谱估计方差,并结合鲁棒的噪声底估计与校正策略构造稳定的滤波增益;然后,采用一致性重叠相加与多组半步偏移格点融合机制,进一步削弱分块平铺引入的块状伪影;最后,在多组候选尺度下独立进行滤波,并构建基于局部相位梯度一致性(local gradient consistency, LGC)的评估指标,实现像素级的多尺度最优滤波窗口动态选择。仿真实验显示,所提方法应用于相干系数处于0.3~0.9渐变区间的三类模拟相位数据时,其结构相似性指数最高可达0.92,且残差点数目显著降低。真实实验进一步验证OS-MML-GF能够有效抑制颗粒状噪声纹理,增强干涉条纹的连续性与边界清晰度。结果表明,该方法突破了单一窗口尺寸的物理限制,在复杂相干场景下提供了更稳健的噪声抑制与条纹保持平衡,为后续的相位解缠与形变反演提供了更为可靠的数据基础。

     

    Abstract: Objectives: Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) relies heavily on the quality of the interferometric phase. However, in low-coherence regions, the phase is often severely corrupted by speckle noise and decorrelation, leading to broken fringe structures and widespread error propagation during subsequent phase unwrapping. Conventional Goldstein-type frequency-domain filters face significant limitations under these challenging conditions, including high-variance local spectral estimation, unstable noise-floor separation, and the generation of weak but problematic blocky artifacts caused by block-wise reconstruction strategies. The primary objective is to overcome these limitations by developing an advanced filtering architecture that balances heavy noise suppression with precise detail preservation. Methods: An enhanced filtering approach, termed the optimal-scale multi-taper and multi-offset lattice enhanced Goldstein filter (OS-MML-GF), is developed. To resolve the instability of local spectral estimation, multi-taper power spectral density (MPSD) estimation is introduced, which effectively smooths the random noise base. This is coupled with a robust noise-floor estimation and correction strategy to construct a highly stable frequency-domain filtering gain. Furthermore, to eliminate blocky artifacts, the method integrates a consistent overlap-add reconstruction technique with a multi-offset half-step lattice fusion mechanism. Processing is executed independently across multiple candidate spatial scales. Finally, an evaluation metric based on local phase gradient consistency (LGC) is formulated, enabling the pixel-wise dynamic selection of the multi-scale optimal filtering window to adaptively match the varying coherence levels across the interferogram. Results: Extensive evaluations were conducted on both simulated and real-world interferometric datasets. On three sets of simulated phase data featuring a coherence gradient ranging from 0.3 to 0.9, the proposed OS-MML-GF algorithm achieved a structural similarity index measure (SSIM) of up to 0.92, demonstrating superior fidelity. Furthermore, the number of residue points was drastically reduced to near zero, significantly outperforming conventional filters and lowering the subsequent phase unwrapping root-mean-square error to as low as 0.089 radians. In experiments utilizing real interferograms from the Myanmar earthquake and the Italian volcano regions, the algorithm effectively suppressed granular noise textures, enhanced both fringe continuity and boundary sharpness, and substantially increased the spatial pseudo-coherence distribution.. Conclusions: The developed OS-MML-GF algorithm successfully breaks through the physical limitations inherent in single-window-size filtering. It provides a highly robust balance between profound noise suppression in decorrelated areas and intricate detail preservation in highly coherent zones, ultimately supplying a highly reliable phase foundation for precision phase unwrapping and geophysical deformation inversion.
