Abstract：The high accurate Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generated by InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) relies on the interferometric calibration. However, the requirement of sufficient Ground Control Points (GCPs) is time consuming and impractical for the cartographic surveying by InSAR over large areas. This paper describes how to implement the interferometric calibration when few GCPs are available. First, the tie points are automatically detected between the adjacent scenes, and then the mathematical model of combined block adjustment among multi-strips and multi-scenes is deduced. Then based on this model, experimental results on the X-band InSAR data validate effectiveness of the presented method.
