Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) time-series analysis has emerged as a revolutionary tool in the realms of remote sensing and geomatics, offering unparalleled insights into the Earth's dynamic processes. The integration of data from multiple SAR platforms, known as multiplatform or multi-sensor InSAR, further amplifies its capabilities, providing a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of geographical and environmental changes. Traditional InSAR approaches relied on data acquired from a single satellite. However, the advent of multiple SAR satellite missions has paved the way for multiplatform InSAR. By integrating data from different satellites, researchers can achieve higher temporal resolution, ensuring more frequent and consistent monitoring. Furthermore, the integrated use of SAR acquisitions originating from different sensors has the potential to reveal different features within the same area of study.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions on applications of multi-sensor InSAR time-series analysis monitoring a wide range of geographic conditions and changes introduced by solid earth deformation and geohazards, coastal erosion, glacier dynamics, deforestation, hydrology changes, and urban development. We also invite submissions that integrate global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and related geodetic techniques to the InSAR time-series processing workflow.

Monitoring three-dimensional (3D) deformation in underground mining areas is crucial for the prevention and control of mining-induced disasters. Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (D-InSAR) is limited to detecting one-dimensional (1D) deformation along the line of sight (LOS). This paper proposes a new method for extracting 3D mining-induced deformation based on the differentiability of D-InSAR LOS deformation fields. The method approximates the D-InSAR LOS deformation field in underground mining areas as a differentiable function and constructs a 3D deformation extraction model utilizing directional derivatives of this function. The least squares method is used for estimating and evaluating the 3D deformation. Simulation and real data experiments have been used to verify the feasibility of the method in extracting mining-induced 3D deformation. The simulation results show relative root mean square errors (RRMSES) of 1.24%, 6.05%, 0.97%, and 11.47% for vertical and horizontal displacements along the east–west and south–north directions, respectively. The real data experiments using Sentinel-1 images show that the root mean square errors (RMSES) of the up–down, south–north, and east–west directions are 14.06 mm, 7.37 mm, and 11.56 mm, respectively. Experimental results show that the method can provide a certain basis for 3D surface deformation monitoring of mining subsidence. Full article

Dynamic predictions of surface subsidence are crucial for assessing ground damage and protecting surface buildings. Based on Small Baseline Subset Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SBAS-InSAR) technology, a method for making dynamic predictions of large-scale surface subsidence in mining areas can be established; however, the problem of phase coherence loss in InSAR data makes it impossible to predict the complete dynamic subsidence basin. In this study, a method combining the WeiBull time function and the improved probabilistic integral method (IPIM) model was established based on the PIM model, and a method for predicting the dynamic subsidence basin in the mining area was proposed by integrating the IPIM and the combined WeiBull time function. Time-series subsidence data, obtained using SBAS-InSAR, were used as fitting data, and the parameters of the combined WeiBull function were inverted, pixel by pixel, to predict the dynamic subsidence of the working face in the study area. Based on the predicted surface subsidence results of a certain moment in the working face, the parameters of the IPIM model were inverted to predict the subsidence value in the incoherent region. The subsidence predictions of the combined WeiBull time function and the IPIM model were fused using inverse distance weighting (IDW) interpolation to restore the complete subsidence basin in the mining area. This method was tested at the Wannian Mine in Hebei, and the obtained complete subsidence basin was compared with the measured data, with an absolute error range of 0 to 10 mm. The results show that the dynamic subsidence basin prediction method for the SBAS-InSAR mining area, involving the combination of the IPIM model and the combined WeiBull model, can not only accurately fit the time series of surface observation points affected by mining but also accurately restore the subsidence data in the incoherent region to obtain complete subsidence basin information in the mining area.
