Abstract	The improved ground resolution of state-of-the-art synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors suggests utilizing SAR data for the analysis of urban areas. The appearance of buildings in SAR or interferometric SAR (InSAR) data is characterized by the consequences of the inherent oblique scene illumination, such as layover, occlusion by radar shadow, and multipath signal propagation. Therefore, particularly in dense built-up areas, building reconstruction is often impossible from a single SAR or InSAR measurement alone. But, the reconstruction quality can be significantly improved by a combined analysis of multi-aspect data. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to detect and reconstruct buildings of different size from multi-aspect high-resolution InSAR data sets. Both approaches focus on the recognition of buildings supported by knowledge-based analysis considering the mentioned SAR-specific effects observed in urban areas. Building features are extracted independently for each direction from the magnitude and phase information of the interferometric data. Initial primitives are segmented and afterward projected from slant-range into the world coordinate system. From the fused set of primitives of both flight directions, building hypotheses are generated. The first approach exploits the frequently observed lines of bright double-bounce scattering, which are used for building reconstruction in residential districts. In the case of larger buildings, such as industrial halls, often additional features of roof and facade elements are visible. Therefore, in a second approach, extended buildings are extracted by grouping primitives of different kinds. The two approaches are demonstrated in an urban environment for an InSAR data set, which has spatial resolution of about 30 cm and was taken from two orthogonal flight directions.
