Subpixel geocoding of COSMO-SkyMed and Sentinel-1 time series imaged with different geometry

This paper describes the use of a new multi-image co-registration method tuned for SAR multi-temporal data collected with different orbits, viewing angles and polarization. Tests were performed using COSMO-SkyMed (X-band) and Sentinel-1 data (C-band) time series imaged in stripmap and spotlight modes. Results shows an overview sub-pixel accuracy also for the challenging co-registration of dual orbit image stacks (ascending vs. descending), where other methods fail. © 2016 IEEE.
