Bridging Consecutive DInSAR Method for Long-Term Land Deformation Observation
Abstract
Several techniques have proposed to observe long-term land deformation using phase information of synthetic aperture radar (SAR), for example, InSAR, DInSAR, PS-InSAR, SBAS using spaceborne SAR images. But every mission of spaceborne SAR has an orbit duty period less than ten years and other problems of discontinuity or blank period of observation using the similar specification of sensors. Hence land deformation with an observed time of more than ten years is not available to be monitored continuously using a single mission. This research proposed a method called Bridging Consecutive DInSAR (BC-DInSAR) to connect Consecutive DInSAR. These methods were employed to investigate land deformation and the impact caused by hot mudflow accident at Regency of Sidoarjo, Indonesia, where this disaster happened on 29 May 2006 and is flowing until now. The differential GPS data since 2006 was employed to validate the analysis result of BC-DInSAR, which obtained 0.46 m RMS error.
