Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of permafrost monitoring technology, and in particular to a method and related equipment for monitoring deformation in permafrost regions based on spatiotemporal constraints. Background Technology

[0002] Affected by global warming and human activities, permafrost is undergoing a dramatic and rapid degradation trend. Changes in surface deformation in permafrost regions are the most direct and external manifestation of this degradation trend; therefore, monitoring surface deformation in permafrost regions is beneficial for deepening our understanding of the freeze-thaw cycle and degradation processes of permafrost. Traditional permafrost surface deformation monitoring typically relies on field measurements; while this yields high-quality monitoring results, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and limited to single-point or small-scale operations. Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), as an emerging space-based Earth observation technology, offers advantages such as all-weather, all-time observation, high accuracy, and wide coverage, and has been widely applied to large-scale surface deformation monitoring in permafrost regions.

[0003] In InSAR deformation monitoring, a reasonable phase deformation model is crucial for removing redundant phases and extracting high-precision surface deformation. However, the deformation process of permafrost surfaces is complex due to the freeze-thaw cycle. Currently, scholars both domestically and internationally have developed six models for monitoring surface deformation in permafrost regions: the cubic square deformation model, the periodic deformation model, the piecewise Stefan permafrost deformation model, the permafrost deformation model considering environmental factors, the deformation model based on the permafrost thawing process, and the piecewise elevation deformation model. Most of these models divide permafrost deformation into long-term and seasonal components, assuming that these two components remain constant throughout the study period. This ignores the interannual variations in long-term and seasonal permafrost deformation, which does not reflect objective reality and affects the accuracy of long-term InSAR deformation monitoring. Furthermore, existing InSAR studies on permafrost surface deformation monitoring are based on independent pixel-by-pixel calculations at single points, neglecting the correlation between deformations at spatially adjacent points, resulting in low monitoring accuracy in permafrost regions.

[0004] Application content

[0005] This application provides a method and related equipment for monitoring deformation in permafrost regions based on spatiotemporal constraints, which can solve the problem of low monitoring accuracy in permafrost deformation monitoring.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for monitoring deformation in permafrost regions based on spatiotemporal constraints, the monitoring method comprising:

[0007] SAR image data of the target permafrost region are processed to obtain Q-scene interferograms;

[0008] For each target pixel in the interferogram that meets the preset coherence condition, a model is built based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region to obtain the deformation model of the target pixel. The deformation model of the target pixel is then used to process each interferogram to obtain the phase value of the target pixel in all interferograms. The phase value contains only the phase values ​​of high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation and noise.

[0009] For each target pixel, the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel are grouped into a pixel coherence group. An observation equation is established based on all phase values ​​corresponding to the pixel coherence group. Based on the spatial correlation between the target pixel and other target pixels in the pixel coherence group, the weight of each phase value corresponding to the pixel coherence group is determined. Then, using the weight of each phase value and the observation equation, the temporal deformation result of the target pixel is solved.

[0010] The temporal deformation results of all target pixels are integrated to obtain the deformation results of the target permafrost region.

[0011] Optionally, the deformation model is:

[0068] To address the issue of low accuracy in existing permafrost deformation monitoring, this application provides a permafrost deformation monitoring method based on spatiotemporal constraints. This method processes SAR image data of the target permafrost region to obtain Q-scene interferograms. Then, for each target pixel in the interferogram that meets preset coherence conditions, a deformation model is built based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region. This model is then used to process each interferogram to obtain the phase value of the target pixel across all interferograms. For each target pixel, the target pixel and other target pixels within a window centered on it are grouped into a pixel coherence group. An observation equation is established based on all phase values ​​corresponding to the pixel coherence group. Based on the spatial correlation between the target pixel and other target pixels in the pixel coherence group, the weight of each phase value is determined. Using the weight of each phase value and the observation equation, the temporal deformation result of the target pixel is solved. Finally, the temporal deformation results of all target pixels are integrated to obtain the deformation result of the target permafrost region. Among them, the establishment of deformation modeling for target pixels based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region takes into account the interannual variation of long-term and seasonal deformation in the permafrost region, which can improve the actual accuracy of the deformation model and is conducive to obtaining highly accurate phase values. The establishment of observation equations to solve the temporal deformation by combining the target pixel and other target pixels in the window centered on the target pixel takes into account the spatial correlation of deformation. Based on the spatial coherence between target pixels, the weights of the phase values ​​are obtained and the observation equations are solved, which can increase the accuracy of the temporal deformation results and effectively improve the accuracy of deformation monitoring in the permafrost region.

[0069] The following is an exemplary description of the spatiotemporal constraint-based permafrost deformation monitoring method provided in this application.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, the spatiotemporal constraint-based deformation monitoring method for permafrost regions provided in this application includes the following steps:

[0071] Step 11: Process the SAR image data of the target permafrost area to obtain the Q-scene interferogram.

[0072] The aforementioned target permafrost region is the area where permafrost deformation monitoring is required; the aforementioned Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image dataset can be obtained by observing the target permafrost region using SAR satellites.

[0073] For example, the SAR image data mentioned above can be image data from the Sentinel-1 satellite, covering the permafrost region from Wudaoliang to Tuotuohe on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (coverage range: 92.33°E-93.76°E, 34.00°N-35.74°N), with SAR image orbit number and frame number 150 and 475 respectively, and a time range from October 11, 2017 to September 20, 2021, which is four permafrost years.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the SAR image data described above can be registered, ensuring a registration accuracy better than 1 / 1000 pixel. Interferometric processing is performed on interferometric pairs with a temporal baseline less than 36 days and a spatial baseline less than 150m to ultimately obtain a common-Q interferogram.

[0075] Step 12: For each target pixel in the interferogram that meets the preset coherence condition, model the target pixel based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region to obtain the deformation model of the target pixel. Then, process each interferogram using the deformation model of the target pixel to obtain the phase value of the target pixel in all interferograms.

[0076] The aforementioned preset coherence condition can be: average coherence greater than 0.85 and minimum coherence greater than 0.3. That is, if the average coherence of a pixel in the generated Q-scene interferogram is greater than 0.85 and the minimum coherence is greater than 0.3, then the pixel is identified as the target pixel. The coherence can be understood with reference to the following example: Assume that the master and slave SAR images (i.e., two images in the SAR image data) that generate the i-th interferogram were acquired at times t and t, respectively. A and t B Then, the coherence of pixel K in the i-th interferogram refers to the coherence of that pixel in time t. A and t B Timing coherence. For example, the target pixel mentioned above can be understood as an image element in the interferogram that maintains high correlation with reference objects (such as specific plants, soil, and other geographical elements) throughout the entire time range; the phase value mentioned above is a phase value that only includes high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, the target pixel is modeled based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region, and the unwrapped interferogram data of each interferogram is obtained. Then, a phase equation is established for the unwrapped interferogram data of each interferogram using the deformation model of the target pixel, and the phase equation is solved using the least squares method to obtain the unknown parameters and elevation residuals of the deformation model. The phase equation is then calculated using the unknown parameters and elevation residuals of the deformation model to obtain the phase value containing only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation and noise.

[0078] It is worth mentioning that the deformation modeling of target pixels based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region takes into account the interannual variation of long-term and seasonal deformation in the permafrost region, which can improve the actual accuracy of the deformation model. By establishing the phase equation for the unwrapped interferogram data and removing the redundant phase, high-accuracy phase values ​​can be obtained.

[0079] Step 13: For each target pixel, the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel are treated as a pixel coherence group. An observation equation is established based on all phase values ​​corresponding to the pixel coherence group. Based on the spatial correlation between the target pixel and other target pixels in the pixel coherence group, the weight of each phase value corresponding to the pixel coherence group is determined. Then, using the weight of each phase value and the observation equation, the temporal deformation result of the target pixel is solved.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, based on the spatial deformation similarity theory, a temporal deformation function model is constructed for the pixel coherence group, and an observation equation is established for the phase values ​​of all target pixels in each interferogram of the pixel coherence group using the temporal deformation function model. The variogram function is used to calculate the phase values ​​of multiple target pixels in each interferogram, obtaining the variogram value of the phase value. The weight of the phase value is then calculated using a formula. Finally, the temporal deformation result of the target pixel is solved using the weight of each phase value and the observation equation.

[0081] It is worth mentioning that by establishing the observation equation by combining the phase values ​​of the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel, the spatial correlation of deformation is taken into account. Since the distance between the central target pixel and different target pixels is different, the deformation correlation between the central target pixel and different target pixels is different. By calculating the phase value according to the variogram, the weight of the phase value can be obtained, and the observation equation can be solved, which can increase the accuracy of the temporal deformation results of the target pixel.

[0082] Step 14: Integrate the temporal deformation results of all target pixels to obtain the deformation results of the target permafrost region.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the deformation results of the target permafrost region can be obtained by integrating the temporal deformation results of all target pixels onto the same image.

[0084] It is worth mentioning that the deformation modeling of target pixels based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region takes into account the interannual variation of long-term and seasonal deformation in the permafrost region, which can improve the actual accuracy of the deformation model and facilitate the obtaining of highly accurate phase values. By jointly establishing observation equations with the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel to solve the temporal deformation, the spatial correlation of deformation is taken into account. Based on the spatial coherence between target pixels, the weights of the phase values ​​are obtained and the observation equations are solved, which can increase the accuracy of the temporal deformation results and effectively improve the accuracy of deformation monitoring in the permafrost region.

[0085] The specific steps of step 12 described above will be illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the specific implementation process of step 12 above includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 12.1: For each target pixel in the interferogram that meets the preset coherence conditions, model the target pixel based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region to obtain the deformation model of the target pixel.

[0088] The deformation model is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] Where, d f (t) represents the deformation model value of the f-th target pixel at time t relative to the reference time, where the reference time is the acquisition time of the first image in the SAR image data, f = 1, 2, ..., F, where F represents the total number of target pixels, j represents the j-th permafrost year, j = 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., n, where n represents the total number of permafrost years covered by the acquisition time range of the SAR image (i.e., the SAR image data in step 11), and t represents the t-th time, t = 1, 2, ..., N, where N is the total number of images in the SAR image data. This represents a constant term indicating the permafrost deformation of the f-th target pixel over the previous j-years. This represents the long-term deformation rate of the f-th target pixel in the j-th permafrost year. and Both represent the seasonal deformation parameters of the f-th target pixel in the j-th permafrost year, and T represents the seasonal deformation period.

[0091] In some embodiments of this application, the aforementioned seasonal deformation cycle is set to one year.

[0092] It is worth mentioning that the deformation model provided in this application is a deformation model constructed based on a piecewise periodic model for the interannual variation of permafrost deformation of the target pixel. This model can improve the actual accuracy of the deformation model and is conducive to obtaining highly accurate phase values.

[0093] Step 12.2: Obtain the unwrapped interferogram data for each interferogram scene and establish the phase equation.

[0094] Differential interferometry is applied to each interferogram scene using a Global Digital Elevation Model (GDM) to obtain differential interferograms. Then, a two-dimensional frequency domain filter is applied to the differential interferograms using the Goldstein filtering algorithm (a type of interferogram filtering algorithm). Finally, two-dimensional phase unwrapping is performed using the minimum network cost flow method, removing pixels with coherence below 0.3 during the unwrapping process. The unwrapped interferogram data for the i-th interferogram scene is then obtained.

[0095] Establish the phase equation based on the unwrapped interferogram data:

[0096]

[0097] in, Let represent the unwrapped interferogram data of the i-th interferogram, i = 1, 2, ..., Q, where Q represents the total number of interferograms, λ represents the radar wavelength of the radar that acquired the SAR image, and d f (t A ) indicates that the f-th target pixel is at t A The deformation model value at time d relative to the reference time. f (t B ) indicates that the f-th target pixel is at t B The deformation model value at time step B relative to the reference time step, f = 1, 2, ..., F, where F represents the total number of target pixels, and B... ⊥,i Let δ be the vertical baseline length of the i-th interferogram. f Z represents the elevation residual of the f-th target pixel, θ represents the radar incident angle of the radar acquiring the SAR image, and r is the line-of-sight slant range. The residual phase in the i-th interferogram consists of atmospheric delay, high-frequency deformation, and noise.

[0098] It is worth mentioning that removing pixels with coherence below 0.3 during the unwrapping process is to avoid the influence of low-coherence pixels on unwrapping. By obtaining unwrapped interferogram data and establishing a phase equation, redundant phase can be easily removed, and accurate phase values ​​can be obtained.

[0099] Step 12.3: Solve the phase equation using the least squares method to obtain the unknown parameters of the deformation model of the f-th target pixel and the elevation residual δ of the f-th target pixel.f Z:

[0100]

[0101] in, Xf represents the unknown parameters of the deformation model for the f-th target pixel, [] T This represents the transpose operation of a matrix, where B is the coefficient matrix and P is the identity matrix.

[0102] Using the unknown parameters of the deformation model corresponding to the f-th target pixel and the elevation residual δ of the f-th target pixel f Z calculates the phase equation to obtain the phase value of the f-th target pixel in the i-th interferogram, which contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise.

[0103] Specifically, from the unwrapped interferogram data of the i-th interferogram mentioned above... Subtract the low-frequency deformation phase of the f-th target pixel from the middle and elevation residual phase Obtain the residual phase

[0104] Residual phase Including atmospheric delay phase High-frequency deformable phase and noise are subjected to time high-pass filtering and spatial low-pass filtering to separate the atmospheric delayed phase.

[0105] Again, the unwrapped interferogram data of the i-th interferogram. Perform the calculation, subtracting the elevation residual phase from its phase equation. and atmospheric delay phase Preserve low-frequency deformation phase High-frequency deformation phase and noise are used to obtain the phase value of the f-th target pixel in the i-th interferogram, which contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation and noise.

[0106] It is worth mentioning that by establishing a phase equation for the unwrapped interferogram data and removing redundant phases, highly accurate phase values ​​can be obtained.

[0107] The specific steps of step 13 described above will be illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the specific implementation process of step 13 above includes the following steps:

[0109] Step 13.1: Based on the spatial deformation similarity theory, construct a temporal deformation function model for the pixel coherence group.

[0110] In some embodiments of this application, based on the spatial deformation similarity theory, regardless of the length of the temporal sequence, the deformation of spatially adjacent points is generally correlated and changes along a certain gradient within a local window. For each target pixel, the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel are considered as a pixel coherence group, and a temporal deformation function model is constructed for the pixel coherence group:

[0111]

[0112] Among them, def k The term "def" represents the temporal deformation of the k-th target pixel in the pixel coherence group. 0 This represents the temporal deformation of the central target pixel in a pixel coherence group. The central target pixel is the target pixel that serves as the center of the window, k = 1, 2, ..., K, where K represents the total number of target pixels in the pixel coherence group. [] T This represents the matrix transpose operation. G 11 denoted by , , represents the gradient change parameter of the deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group at time 1 in the range direction; , , denotes the temporal deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group at time 1; and , , denotes the range direction. G 12 The gradient change parameter represents the deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the azimuth direction at time 1, where y represents the azimuth direction. G t1 The parameter represents the gradient change of the deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group at time t in the distance direction. t This represents the temporal deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group at time t. G t2 The gradient change parameter represents the deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the azimuth direction at time t, where t = 1, 2, ..., N, and N represents the total number of images in the SAR image data. G N1 The parameter representing the gradient change of the deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group at time N in the distance direction is denoted as def. N This represents the temporal deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group at time N. G N2 The gradient change parameter represents the deformation of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the azimuth direction at time t. The spatial coefficient matrix representing the k-th target pixel in the pixel correlation group:

[0113]

[0114] Where, Δx k Δy represents the x-axis coordinate increment of the k-th target pixel in the pixel correlation group. k This represents the y-axis coordinate increment of the k-th target pixel in the pixel correlation group.

[0115] The above steps are illustrated below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0116] In one embodiment of this application, a pixel coherence group is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, among a total of F target pixels, target pixel 0 is selected as the center, and all target pixels within a 3×3 window centered on target pixel 0 are selected: target pixel a, target pixel b, target pixel c, target pixel d, target pixel e, target pixel f, target pixel g, and target pixel h. These target pixels and target pixel 0 are then grouped into a pixel coherence point group.

[0117] Step 13.2: Establish the observation equation based on all phase values ​​corresponding to the pixel coherence group.

[0118] The above observation equation is:

[0119]

[0120] in, [] T This represents the matrix transpose operation. The central target pixel in the pixel coherence group contains only the phase values ​​of high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise in the first interferogram. The central target pixel is the target pixel at the center of the window. The phase value of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group represents the i-th interferogram, which contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise. The phase value of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group represents the phase value of the Q-th interferogram containing only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise, where i = 1, 2, ..., Q, and Q represents the total number of interferograms. This indicates that the phase value of the k-th target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the first interferogram contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise. This indicates that the phase value of the k-th target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the i-th interferogram contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise. This represents the phase value of the k-th target pixel in the pixel coherence group, which contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise in the Q-scene interferogram. k = 0, 1, 2, ..., K, where K represents the total number of target pixels in the pixel coherence point group. This indicates that the phase value of the Kth target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the first interferogram contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise. This indicates that the phase value of the Kth target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the i-th interferogram contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise. This indicates that the phase value of the Kth target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the Q-th interferogram contains only high-frequency deformation, low-frequency deformation, and noise. This represents the spatial coefficient matrix of the center target pixel in the pixel coherence group. This represents the spatial coefficient matrix of the k-th target pixel in the pixel coherence group. Let l = [def] represent the spatial coefficient matrix of the Kth target pixel in the pixel coherence group. 0 G 11 G 12 , ..., G t1 G t2 , ..., G N1 G N2 ] T l represents the time-series deformation and deformation gradient change parameter results, and C represents the coefficient matrix:

[0121]

[0122] Each row and column of the coefficient matrix corresponds to an interferogram and a SAR image, respectively.

[0123] It is worth mentioning that the observation equation is established based on all phase values ​​corresponding to the pixel coherence group, which takes into account the spatial correlation of deformation of adjacent pixels and can increase the accuracy of temporal deformation results.

[0124] Step 13.3: Calculate the phase value of the target pixel using the variogram function, obtain the variogram value of the phase value, and then fit it.

[0125] Through mutation function Calculate the distance h in the i-th interferogram. k The variogram value γ of the target pixel pair i (h k );

[0126] Where s = 1, 2, ..., R i (h), R i (h) represents the number of target pixels at a distance h in the i-th interferogram, i = 1, 2, ..., Q, where Q represents the total number of interferograms, x0 represents the coordinates of the center target pixel in the pixel coherence group, and x0 + h k The distance h between the center target pixels of the pixel coherence group is represented by the value h. k The coordinates of the target pixel Pk in the pixel coherence group. This represents the phase value of the central target pixel in the pixel coherence group within the i-th scene interferogram. The spatial location is represented as x0+h k The target pixel P of the pixel coherence group k The phase value in the i-th interferogram;

[0127] Through formula For a distance of h k The variogram value γ of the target pixel pair in the i-th interferogram i (h k Fit the data.

[0128] Where b0, b1, and b2 are all unknown parameters of the fitted function.

[0129] The above steps are illustrated below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0130] In one embodiment of this application, the variogram value and fitting result of one interferogram are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the distance between two target pixels (1ag distance h), and the vertical axis represents the variogram value.

[0131] Step 13.4: Calculate the variogram value to obtain the weight of the phase value.

[0132] Through the formula:

[0133]

[0134] Calculate the weights of the phase values.

[0135] in, The weight represents the phase value of the k-th target pixel in the i-th interferogram, where i = 1, 2, ..., Q, Q represents the total number of interferograms, and k = 1, 2, ..., K, K represents the total number of target pixels in the pixel coherence point group.

[0136] It is worth mentioning that the deformation correlation between the central target pixel and different target pixels is different when the distance between the central target pixel and different target pixels is different. The variogram can be used to calculate the phase value based on the correlation, obtain the weight of the phase value, and determine the weight of the observation equation.

[0137] Step 13.5 uses the weight of each phase value and the observation equation to solve for the temporal deformation result of the target pixel.

[0138] In some embodiments of this application, the temporal deformation and gradient change parameter result l of the target pixel is:

[0139]

[0140] Where W represents the weight matrix of the phase values:

[0141]

[0142] Among them, W 0 W k W K All represent the parameters of the matrix:

[0143]

[0144] in, The weight representing the phase value of the k-th target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the first interferogram. The weight representing the phase value of the k-th target pixel in the pixel coherence group in the i-th interferogram. The weight represents the phase value of the k-th target pixel in the Q-th interferogram of the pixel coherence group.

[0145] Temporal deformation results of target pixels def 0 for:

[0146]

[0147] The final calculated value of l is a 3N*1 matrix, where the first to N parameters are the temporal deformation results, and the other parameters are gradient change parameters. Specifically, The first parameter in the result l representing the temporal deformation and gradient change parameters of the target pixel. The t-th parameter in the result l of the temporal deformation and gradient change parameters of the target pixel is represented. The Nth parameter in the result l of the temporal deformation and gradient change parameters of the target pixel is represented by t = 1, 2, ..., N, where N represents the total number of images in the SAR image data.

[0148] It is worth mentioning that the deformation modeling of target pixels based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region takes into account the interannual variation of long-term and seasonal deformation in the permafrost region, which can improve the actual accuracy of the deformation model and facilitate the obtaining of highly accurate phase values. By jointly establishing observation equations with the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel to solve the temporal deformation, the spatial correlation of deformation is taken into account. Based on the spatial coherence between target pixels, the weights of the phase values ​​are obtained and the observation equations are solved, which can increase the accuracy of the temporal deformation results and effectively improve the accuracy of deformation monitoring in the permafrost region.

[0149] The above steps will be illustrated with a specific example below.

[0150] The comparison curves between the deformation results of the landform site and the deformation results of the permafrost deformation monitoring method based on spatiotemporal constraints provided in this application are shown in the figure below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, GNSS represents the deformation results of the landform site, and the GNSS fit represents the fitted curve of the deformation results of the landform site, with a fitting coefficient R. 2 =0.86928. The root mean square error (RMS) of the periodic model curve shown in the figure is 8.5712 mm, the RMS of the piecewise periodic model (i.e., the deformation model mentioned above) is 8.074 mm, the RMS of the spatiotemporal constraint model is 7.007 mm, and the RMS of the solution method without a deformation model (InSAR-RAW) is 9.2895 mm. The horizontal axis in the figure represents the date, and the vertical axis represents the deformation result, in millimeters (mm).

[0151] It can be seen that the deformation results obtained by the piecewise periodic model are better than those of the traditional periodic model, with the root mean square error reduced by about 5.8%. This indicates that the deformation model that considers the interannual variation of long-term and seasonal deformation of permafrost is more consistent with the actual deformation of permafrost and helps to better remove redundant phases. At the same time, the root mean square error of the time-series deformation results obtained by the monitoring method provided in this application is the smallest, at only 7.007 mm, which is about 18.2% more accurate than the traditional periodic model. This shows that the deformation monitoring method for permafrost regions that combines the piecewise periodic model and spatial constraints obtains more accurate deformation results.

[0152] It can be seen that the spatiotemporal constraint-based permafrost deformation monitoring method provided in this application can increase the accuracy of time-series deformation results and effectively improve the precision of permafrost deformation monitoring.

[0153] like Figure 5 As shown, this application embodiment provides a permafrost deformation monitoring device based on spatiotemporal constraints. The permafrost deformation monitoring device 500 based on spatiotemporal constraints includes:

[0154] The data processing module 501 processes the SAR image data of the target permafrost area to obtain a Q-scene interferogram.

[0155] The phase value acquisition module 502 is used to model the target pixel based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region for each target pixel that meets the preset coherence conditions in the interferogram, obtain the deformation model of the target pixel, and process each interferogram through the deformation model of the target pixel to obtain the phase value of the target pixel in all interferograms.

[0156] The solver module 503 is used to treat each target pixel separately, taking the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel as a pixel coherence group, establishing an observation equation based on all phase values ​​corresponding to the pixel coherence group, and determining the weight of each phase value corresponding to the pixel coherence group based on the spatial correlation between the target pixel and other target pixels in the pixel coherence group; then using the weight of each phase value and the observation equation, the temporal deformation result of the target pixel is solved.

[0157] The integration module 504 is used to integrate the temporal deformation results of all target pixels to obtain the deformation results of the target permafrost region.

The deformation model of the target pixel is then used to process each interferogram to obtain the phase value of the target pixel in all interferograms. Then, for each target pixel, the target pixel and other target pixels within the window centered on the target pixel are treated as a pixel coherence group. An observation equation is established based on all phase values ​​corresponding to the pixel coherence group. Based on the spatial correlation between the target pixel and other target pixels in the pixel coherence group, the weight of each phase value corresponding to the pixel coherence group is determined. Then, using the weight of each phase value and the observation equation, the temporal deformation result of the target pixel is solved. Finally, the temporal deformation results of all target pixels are integrated to obtain the deformation result of the target permafrost region. Among them, the establishment of deformation modeling for target pixels based on the interannual variation of permafrost deformation in the target permafrost region takes into account the interannual variation of long-term and seasonal deformation in the permafrost region, which can improve the actual accuracy of the deformation model and facilitate the obtaining of highly accurate phase values.
