InSAR processing for the recognition of landslides
نویسنده
چکیده
Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) is an established method for the detection and monitoring of earth surface processes. This approach has been most successful where the observed area fulfills specific requirements, such as sufficient backscattering, flat slope gradients or very slow changes of vegetation. We investigated the capability of two different InSAR techniques and achieved good results for the recognition of landslides in China and Greece that compared well with geodetic derived movement rates. This demonstrates the strong potential of SAR Interferometry for the detection of landslides and earth surface movements.

InSAR Monitoring of Landslides affecting strategic Transportation Corridors
In this paper, we present the results of several case studies using InSAR techniques from high resolution RADARSAT to monitor active landslides triggered by earthquakes and other geomorphic processes. Our results have shown that our InSAR results were used that facilitate mitigation efforts along strategic transportation and energy corridors as well as reconstruction efforts in earthquake damag...

In this paper, we will present the results of several case studies focusing on RADARSAT-2 InSAR monitoring of several different types of landslides and the uses of enhanced RADARSAT-2 polarimetric composites for surficial geological and terrain mapping in Canada. InSAR techniques are increasingly being used in slope stability assessment [1, 2 3]. Our research has shown that both differential In...
متن کاملSuitability evaluation of the differential radar interferometry method for detection and deformation monitoring of landslides
Differential radar interferometry (D-InSAR) is a powerful remote sensing technique for detection and deformation monitoring of landslides. However, as a consequence of the radar specific imaging geometry spatial distortions, such as the layover and shadowing effect, occur in the radar image, which have a negative impact on the suitability of the radar images for D-InSAR applications. Therefore ...
متن کاملLandslides in Iceland Studied Using Sar Interferometry
Landslides and debris flows have caused both fatalities and considerable economic loss in Iceland during the past centuries. In a recently started project we plan to study known landslides in eastern and central-north Iceland using satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) and survey many other slopes in search for other active landslides that may exist. Our initial results show that a landslide i...
متن کاملEpisodic Landslide Movement in Iceland Studied Using Sar Interferometry
While there is abundant geomorphologic evidence for landslides in Iceland, it is in most cases unknown whether or not these landslides are actively creeping. Here we use Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to assess its monitoring capabilities on three landslides that are known to be creeping and to survey large areas in East and Central-North Iceland in search for other creeping l...
