The difficulty of estimating the noise level near the borders of different features can be decreased using this new filtering method. Then, the Fourier transform of the complex phase is applied to this adjusted filter patch. In this adjusted patch, the adaptive-neighborhood pixels retain the original phase values while the “background” pixels are replaced by the mean value of adaptive-neighborhood pixels. The idea of this method is to filter each pixel of the interferogram within an adjusted filter patch. This letter proposes a modified Goldstein filter based on the adaptive-neighborhood technique. However, when there exist different features within a single filter window, especially along the border, the value of alpha as estimated from the pixels within the window can be inaccurate and this may result in blurred borders in filtered interferograms. The level of noise after filtering is controlled by a filter parameter, “alpha,” the value of which is determined by pixels within the moving window. The Goldstein filter is one of the most commonly used filters for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferograms.
