Abstract:
This paper presents the I.D.I.O.T. (InSAR Deformation Inspection and Observation Tool) software, developed by the Computer Vision and Remote Sensing Group of the Berlin University of Technology. The purpose of I.D.I.O.T. is to ease as much as possible the generation of differential SAR interferograms, even for complete novices in SAR interferometry. The generation of differ- ential interferograms from ENVISAT-ASAR data is sim- plified to choice of files of appropriate IMS (single look complex) files. From these files, displacement maps are produced without further user interaction. I.D.I.O.T. is programmed in IDL (Interactive Data Language); a bi- nary edition for non-commercial purposes is provided free-of-charge via the Internet. The current version of I.D.I.O.T. supports ENVISAT-IMS as input data and gen- erates output in png and rat format. Several examples of deformation maps derived with I.D.I.O.T. over test sites in Iran, Kyrgyzstan and Saudi- Arabia will be presented, demonstrating the processing accuracy of I.D.I.O.T.
