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.
