Dear Reviewer,
We really appreciate the reviewer’s help very much not only for the suggestions, but also for the patience and kindness to point out some existing problems. And we are very sorry for the various problems in the illustration of our proposal in the paper, and thank you very much for your careful reading. We have made these corrections and added more explanations in revised manuscript. The positive comment indeed encourages us for a further study on the InSAR Terrain Mapping of airborne millimeter-wave InSAR.
The attachment is our response to the reviewer’s comments.
Yours sincerely.

Reviewer 2 Report
The paper proposes an automatic extraction of tie-points and interferometric calibration technology. It uses the automatic extraction algorithm of tie-points based on SAR+SIFT+RANSAC to obtain the tie-points of adjacent images. The measured data is used to verify the technology, and compares it with the areas with control points and marking points.
The article is very well written, with significant theoretical development and significant simulation results supporting the proposed idea.
However, the novelty compared to existing work is not clearly demonstrated

Reviewer 3 Report
1-this paper proposes an automatic extraction of tie-points and interferometric calibration technology. And this paper discusses the difficulties in the treatment of typical areas, such as water areas, urban areas and mountain areas, and gives reasonable solutions,
2 The topic is original and relevant in the Calibration of Tie-Points.
3. When compared with other published papers ;The processing results of the measured data show that the method in this paper can effectively solve the problem of large area high-precision topographic mapping.
4. when consider regarding the methodology?
4.1 Where is B at figüre 1 Please Show it on figüre 1
4.2 İn line 101 :
2.1. Fundamentals of InSAR and Problem Despriction
It should be like this
2.1 Fundamentals of InSAR and Problem Description
4.3 What is DSM please explain it at methodology section
4.4 Please explain SAR processing procedures at methodology section
5. presented conclusions are consistent with the evidence and arguments
6. I would like to recommend some appropriate references
