| Abstract | Phase unwrapping is a key step in deriving topographic information from interferometric SAR. A recent method is based on minimizing the total weighted length of branch cuts by computing the minimum cost flow on a network. The authors provide a theoretical foundation to derive the network weights based on a probabilistic approach |
