In radar images, point scatterers provide re∞ections that can often be attributed to a single physical object, usually smaller than the resolution cell size. Stable point scatterers with high backscatter coefflcients through time (mainly ’man-made features’) are potential targets for InSAR deformation analysis. A-priori knowledge about the observation statistics of InSAR point scatterer measurements is necessary togiveanindependentqualitydescriptionoftheestimated (deformation) parameters. Using the Signalto-Noise Ratio (SCR) from SAR images an a-priori estimate of the phase variance can be obtained. A controlled corner re∞ector experiment has been set up with leveling as an independent validation technique. In the period from March 2003 to June 2004 the movements of flve corner re∞ectors in the area near Delft University of Technology have been monitored using leveling and repeat-pass InSAR (ERS-2 and Envisat). Double-difierence observations, the flrst observations that bear interpretable information, are used for comparing the InSAR and leveling measurements. The stochastic model is set up as a variancecovariance matrix, estimating a-posteriori variance factors for the observation groups leveling, ERS-2 and Envisat. From the results it can be concluded thatthea-prioriphasevariancebasedonSCRforthe
