This software performs the automated forest height inversion and mosaicking from spaceborne repeat-pass L-band HV-pol InSAR correlation magnitude data (e.g. JAXA’s ALOS-1/2, and the future NASA-ISRO’s NISAR) that have been pre-processed by JPL’s ROI_PAC and/or ISCE programs.

Documentation

Please note that users will have to be able to generate their own interferograms using JPL's ROI_PAC or ISCE (insarApp.py workflow up to v2.2; stripmapApp.py workflow for v2.2+) software in order to use the FSH software. Information and tutorials regarding ISCE and interferogram processing can be found at here. To those interested in pursuing their own interferogram processing, we used modified ISCE scripts which are provided with the FSH software, and described here.

Here, we provide three test examples for FSH using JAXA's ALOS PALSAR interferograms that have been generated by ROI_PAC and ISCE (with both insarApp.py and stripmapApp.py workflows in v2.2), respectively.
