Determining Suitable Spaceborne SAR Observations and Ground Control Points for Surface Deformation Study in Rugged Terrain With InSAR Technique

We aim to address two primary issues using the multitemporal (MT) spaceborne SAR observations and InSAR technique to monitor slope stability in rugged terrains. One is how to maximize the observation and application effectiveness based on the geometric distortion in an area of interest for determini...

The other is how to optimize the selection of ground control points (GCPs) to correct orbital phase errors and reference in deriving valid ground surface displacements in the SBAS InSAR analysis. Four criteria were proposed to identify valid GCPs efficiently and effectively. The 2017 Xinmo landslide event, China, was showcased. The tear-away zone was 100% and ∼50% distorted when imaged by ascending- and descending-orbit Sentinel-1A/B SAR sensors. The descending SAR datasets were preferred.
