Land displacement monitoring
(InSAR Ground Deformation Monitoring)
Land displacement monitoring (InSAR Ground Deformation Monitoring) is carried out through the implementation of interferometric processing of multi-pass radar images of the same area, acquired with the same technical parameters and imaging geometry.

Radar interferometry allows for the detection of surface displacement and objects located on it with centimeter-level accuracy (for the Earth's surface) and millimeter-level accuracy (for buildings and structures), using spaceborne radar images as input data.

Geodetic monitoring aims to detect deformational changes, determine the causes of their occurrence, and provide forecasts for their future development and changes.
The Purpose of Land displacement monitoring (InSAR Ground Deformation Monitoring)
To detect and assess ground displacements above areas of underground mining, map the deformation of quarry walls and benches, or identify deformations of structures, expensive GPS monitoring is not necessary. Radar interferometry allows achieving millimeter-accuracy measurements over large areas, comparable to the precision of GPS monitoring, without the need for costly field infrastructure.

Radar interferometry is indispensable for:
  • Timely detection of ground displacements above areas of underground mining;
  • Mapping deformations of quarry walls and benches;
  • Monitoring natural and man-made displacements and deformations of buildings and structures;
  • Monitoring critical industrial facilities, pipelines, roads, railways, and other objects.
Goals and Objectives of Land displacement monitoring (InSAR Ground Deformation Monitoring)
Monitoring the deformation of the Earth's surface using satellite radar data allows for the achievement of the following objectives:

  • Monitoring deformation and displacement of the Earth's surface in mineral deposits;
  • Observing deformations of structures in urban areas;
  • Monitoring critical industrial facilities;
  • Pipeline monitoring;
  • Monitoring of roads, railways, and other objects.

The monitoring of deformation processes of the Earth's surface is conducted with the following purposes:

  • Fulfilling the requirements of Russian legislation in the field of industrial safety and subsoil protection;
  • Forecasting the extent of possible deformations of the Earth's surface;
  • Identifying the influence of mining operations on vertical and horizontal movements of the Earth's crust.
