1 A.S.Vasileisky, R.I.Shuvalov Monitoring of railroad infrastructure with the use of differential interferometric techniques of SAR data processing From Imagery to Map Digital Photogrammetric Technologies

2 JSC «NIIAS» is the affiliated company of the JSC Russian Railroads responsible for application of space technologies: satellite navigation systems; Earth remote sensing; satellite telecommunication systems. Provides the common scientific and technical strategy and coordinates activities of the JSC Russian Railways subdivisions, branches, private institutes, affiliated and related organizations in the field of space technologies application in the railway transport. Space Technology Application Center of NIIAS was founded in 2008.

3 Satellite monitoring for the railroad transport Before explosion Quick-Bird, 0,6 m After explosion Quick-Bird, 0,6 m Benefits of ERS data Unbiased objective data Operative imaging Metric measurements Clear visual representation Broad swath of survey High information content (different spectral bands) High detailed Relatively low cost Digital representation Possibility for direct integration with GIS systems Observation of the effect of explosion at railroad station in Korea by optical remote sensing system

4 Progress in satellite radar Earth remote sensing sistems ERS-2 C, 30m, VV ENVISAT С, m, HH,VV,HV,VH Deployment of multi-satellite SAR systems started Huge archives of SAR data, experience of processing and application are collected RADARSAT-1 C, 8-100m, HH Spatial resolution of SAR imagery became equal to optical ERS data Modern SAR systems may change by request imaging mode (polarization combination, spatial resolution) ALOS L, 7-100m, HH,VV,HV,VH RADARSAT-2 C, 3-100м, HH,VV,HV,VH COSMO-SkyMed X, 1-100m, HH,VV,HV,VH TerraSAR-X X, 1-16m, HH,VV,HV,VH

5 Features of data, collected by satellite radar remote sensing systems Diagram of active imaging of the Earth surface by satellite radar with synthetic aperture Benefits of data, collected by satellite radar remote sensing systems Independence form the illumination conditions (day or night) Independence from cloud coverage Presence of both amplitude and phase information makes it possible DEM generation and direct accurate estimation of shifts of the ground surface Capability of imaging in different polarization combinations Possibility to select spatial resolution by demand Broad swath

6 Capability of the radar data application for railroad transport system TerraSAR-X, 1 m Quick-Bird, 0,6 m Spatial resolution of the modern SAR satellite systems TerraSAR-X and COSMO-SkyMed is compatible with the resolution provided by traditional optical Earth remote sensing systems. Railroad tracks, trains, locomotives and infrastructure objects are excellent reflectors of radar signal and are stable recognized at SAR images.

7 Areas of SAR data application for railway transport system Benefits of SAR data Independence of image quality form illumination conditions and cloud coverage Presence of both amplitude and phase information DEM generation and direct estimation of the ground surface displacements with high accuracy Operative imaging of areas affected by emergency cases and disasters for evaluation of damage and work out correct means to minimize consequences Direct generation of precise digital terrain models (DTM) and digital elevation models (DEM) Accurate estimation of the ground surface displacements for detection of potentially dangerous railroad parts and for monitoring of natural and artificial impacts on the railway infrastructure: - monitoring of railroad lines in karst areas; - monitoring of railroad lines affected by landslides, rockfalls, slip erosion; - monitoring of railroad lines in permafrost areas.
