Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) Requirement: targets on the ground with persistent reflectivity properties in time Persistent Scatterer(PS) PSInSAR technique (Ferretti et al., 2001) Pros: Suitable over urban/built-up areas Inference of ground instability, regional/local land processes Cons: No data or low PS density over vegetated areas Significant alteration of the scene constraint for PS generation Rocca (2013)
Recent PSI and SBAS techniques Scope: Increase the density of measurement points, allowing investigation over bare, vegetated, rural sites SqueeSAR technique (Ferretti et al., 2011) Evolution of PSInSAR technique TRE website Intermittent Small Baseline Subset (ISBAS) method (Bateson et al., 2015)
