Abstract:
To determine movements of infrastructure objects on Earth surface, SAR interferometry is used.The method is based on obtaining a series of detailed satellite images of the same Earth surface area at different times. Each image consists of the amplitude and phase components. To determine terrain movements the change of the phase component is used. A method of persistent scatterers detection and estimation of relative shift of objects corresponding to persistent scatterers is suggested.
Keywords:radiolocation, synthetic aperture radar, SAR interferometry, persistent scatterers.
