Review on InSAR based displacement monitoring of Indian Himalayas: issues,challenges and possible advanced alternatives

Natural and man-made disasters like earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, unplanned mining are some of the most serious factors responsible for earth surface displacement. These incidences can be harmful for the society due to loss of life and also threatful for future urban development. Therefore, continuous monitoring of disasters in terms of displacements is of fundamental importance in a modern well-organized society to understand its effects on the social and economic fabric. Availability of SAR data has been proved to be an excellent source for estimation of surface displacements with high accuracies. However, in India, SAR interferometry-related displacement measurement has still not gained appreciable momentum. More rigorous research needs to be carried out for the efficient use of this new generation technique. This review article is an attempt to discuss the issues related to SAR-based displacement studies so far conducted on Indian Himalayan region and possible advanced alternatives.

为了对河北省承德市滦平县张百湾镇周台子村铁矿区进行形变调查和监测,消除安全隐患,在时序CSInSAR（相干散射体InSAR）技术的基础上,开发了48景Sentinel1数据的DSCSInSAR（融合分布式散射体和相干散射体InSAR）技术。该方法首先采用AD (Anderson Darling)检验对同质像素点进行识别,然后基于协方差矩阵特征值分解算法对最优相位进行估计,最终通过时序形变解算得到铁矿区的地表形变结果。研究结果表明：研究区的年平均形变速率范围为-34.50~24.50 mm/a;大部分矿区都存在不同程度的沉降,其中周台子村和路边附近矿区沉降量较大,窑岭沟矿区出现明显抬升现象,最大沉降量和最大抬升量分别达到了34.00和24.03 mm,其形变结果与当地4个GPS监测点结果一致。与CSInSAR技术相比,DS CSInSAR技术极大提高了目标点的密度和干涉图的质量。

Rule‐based Integration of Remotely‐sensed Data and GIS for Land Cover Mapping in NE Costa Rica

Abstract

A classification method was developed for mapping land cover in NE Costa Rica at a regional scale for spatial input to a biogeochemical model (CENTURY). To distinguish heterogeneous cover types, unsupervised classifications of Landsat Thematic Mapper data were combined with ancillary and derived data in an iterative process. Spectral classes corresponding to ground control types were segregated into a storage raster while ambiguous pixels were passed through a set of rules to the next stage of processing. Feature sets were used at each step to help sort spectral classes into land cover classes. The process enabled different feature sets to be used for different types while recognizing that spectral classification alone was not sufficient for separating cover types that were defined by heterogeneity. Spectral data included the TM reflective bands, principal components and the NDVI. Ancillary data included GIS coverages of swamp extents, banana plantation boundaries and river courses. Derived data included neighborhood variety and majority measures that captured texture. The final map depicts 18 land cover types and captures the general patterns found in the region. Some confusion still exists between closely related types such as pasture with different amounts of tree cover.

针对当前分布式目标雷达干涉测量运算效率低、选点困难等问题,本文提出了一种建立在快速同质点选取下的干涉数据处理框架.相比之前的时序数据处理方法,新方法具有选点快速、自适应性强的特点,能在保留影像分辨率基础之上增加空间点密度.另外,在统计推断的基础上,提出基于无偏空间相干性估计的分布式目标选择方法,进而弥补了传统经验阈值设定的缺陷.本文以美国加州Lost Hills油田区为例,在论证数据处理框架的可行性基础之上,分析了因孔隙流体萃取和孔隙压力降低引起的地表变形.
