Abstract	The accuracy of SAR interferometric coherence estimates depends on the precision of several processing steps. In particular decorrelation can occur if range common-band filtering does not perform optimally. Typically a planar surface is adopted which introduces additional decorrelation in case of sloped terrain. To take into account topographic variations a slope-adaptive range common-band filtering method has been developed. A DEM is used to simulate an unwrapped interferogram and the fringe rate is used as driver for the filter size in the range common-band filtering step. Tests with several spaceborne interferometric SAR datasets confirmed the robustness of the method. The improvement of the coherence increased for increasing perpendicular baseline. As a consequence, the fringe visibility also greatly improved. To quantify the improvement of the coherence estimates with the slope-adaptive range common-band filtering, we considered the variation of classification in forest mapping, i.e. an application in which accurate coherence estimates are needed. With improved coherence the classified forest stem volume agreed better with forest maps derived from other remote sensing datasets.
