Terrestrial SAR Interferometry Monitoring of Natural Slopes and Man-Made Structures

Abstract

Remote sensing techniques for the monitoring of displacements are opening new opportunities in the field of geotechnical engineering and geology. Terrestrial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry (TInSAR) is one of the most innovative techniques and it promises to be a very effective solution, which will be extensively used in the near future. TInSAR is characterized by several interesting features such as: (i) high density of information; (ii) fully remote capability; (iii) long range capability; (iv) panoramic perspective; (v) spatially continuous efficacy and (vi) high accuracy. Thanks to these features, TInSAR has been used for investigation and diagnostic purposes (e.g. landslide and structural movement monitoring), and provided very useful data.
