4. Introduction of coherence optimization scattering matrix: scattering vector: generalized vector expression for the coherence: The accuracy of height estimation depends on the quality of interferogram, the indicator of which is complex coherence. We are always attempting to search for the best projection vector combination to acquire the highest interferometric coherence.

8. Coherence optimization with GA scattering mechanism definition: Each individual of population has six chromosomes to be developed in single-mechanism: When optimizing the second coherence we must add a constraint: So the last two chromosomes can be represented by the first four as:
9. Coherence optimization with GA When optimizing the third coherence we must add another constraint: and So the last four chromosomes can be represented by the first two as: where
