With the current extensive availability of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) datasets with high temporal (e.g., a repeat cycle of a few or a dozen days) and spatial resolution (e.g., in the order of ∼1 m), radar remote sensing possesses an increasing potential for the monitoring of glacier surface motion thanks to the nearly weather and time-independent advantages. This paper proposes a robust subpixel frequency-based image correlation method for dense matching and integrates the improved matching into a workflow of glacier surface motion estimation using SAR intensity images with specific pre-processing and post-processing steps. The proposed matching method combines complex edge maps and local upsampling in the frequency domain for subpixel intensity tracking, which ensure the accuracy and robustness of glacier surface motion estimation. Experiments were carried out with TerraSAR-X and Sentinel-1 images covering two glacier areas in pole and alpine regions. The results of the monitoring and investigation of glacier motion validate the feasibility and reliability of the presented motion estimation method based on subpixel gradient correlation. The comparative results using both simulated and real SAR data indicate that the proposed matching method outperforms commonly used correlation-based matching methods in terms of matching accuracy and the ability to obtain correct matches.
