In this paper, we present an innovative Phase Unwrapping (PhU) procedure for Multi Temporal DInSAR techniques, based on the Extended Minimum Cost Flow technique schema. The developed algorithm benefits from the Compressive Sensing (CS) theory. In particular, the procedure consists of the cascade of three steps. At first, the set of spatially connected arcs between close pixels is identified by selecting the points to be unwrapped and linking them through the Delaunay algorithm; in the second step, the temporal PhU of all the arcs is carried out by using the CS approach and an L-norm estimator. In the last step, the algorithm uses the unwrapped arcs to perform spatial PhU of each interferogram using MCF technique. To assess the performance of the developed approach, we analyze the area related to Stromboli volcano (Italy) by processing the dataset acquired by Sentinel-1 constellation over descending orbit from 2016 to 2021.
