Nowadays, SAR Interferometry is actively being studied as a new technique in topographic mapping using satellite imagery. It extracts height values using phase information derived by two SAR imageries covering same areas. Unlike when using SPOT imagery, it is not affected by atmospheric conditions and time. So to speak, we can say that SAR Interferometry is flexible in imagery acquisitions and can get height data economically over wide area. So, it is expected that SAR Interferometry will be widely using in GIS applications. But, in some area occurring geometric distortion, height data are misjudged or not extracted depending on phase unwrapping algorithms. IN the case of ERS tandem data, the accuracy of height data was worst in mountain area. It is the because of the short incidence angle resulted in layover effect. Of the phase unwrapping algorithms, path-following was better in height accuracy but could not get data in layover area. In this area, we could get height data using Height Sensitivity. In concludion, we could get DEM that maintained the accuracy of path-following method and have overall data across imagery.

Recently, SAR Interferometry method is actively being studied as a new technic in topographic mapping using satellite imageries. it extract height values using two SAR imageries covering same areas. Unlike when using SPOT imageries, it isn't affected by atmospheric conditions and time. But it is difficult to process radar imageries and the height accuracy is very low where relief displacements are high. In this study, we produced DEM(Digital Elevation Model) using ERS-1, ERS-2 tandem data and analysed the height accuracy over 14 ground control points. The mean error in height was 14.06m. But when using airborne SAR data, it Is expected that we can produce more accurate DEM which will be able to ue used in updating 1/10,000 or 1/25,000 map.

We carried out studies on InSAR techniques for time-series deformation monitoring using multi-temporal SAR. The PSInSAR method using permanent scatterer is much more complicate than the SBAS because it includes many non-linear equation due to the input of wrapped phase. It is conformed the PS algorithm is very sensitive to even PSC selection. On the other hand, the SBAS method using interferogram of small baseline subset is simple but sensitive to the accuracy of unwrapped phase. The SBAS is better method for expecting not significant unwrapping error while PSInSAR is more proper method for expecting local deformation within very limited area. We used 51 ERS-1/2 SAR data during 1992-2000 over Las Vegas, USA for the comparison between PSInSAR and SBAS. Both PSInSAR and SBAS show similar ground deformation value although local deformation seems to be detected in the PSInSAR method only.
