Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of step deformation extraction, and specifically relates to a method and device for extracting surface step deformation based on time-series InSAR. Background Art

[0002] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an advanced radar remote sensing Earth observation technology. One of its key applications is to obtain surface deformation data through repeated observations of the same area. Surface deformation is a direct reflection of crustal stress release and is key information for analyzing the evolution of disasters. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology is widely used in surface deformation monitoring. Compared to point-based observation methods such as the Global Navigation Satellite System, it provides more comprehensive deformation information, facilitating disaster research.

[0003] Among existing InSAR step deformation extraction methods, Differential InSAR (DInSAR) technology plays an important role in rapidly capturing step deformation fields for events such as earthquakes using a single pair of SAR images. However, because it relies solely on interferometry of a single pair of images to capture deformation, it is difficult to effectively remove interfering phases such as atmospheric delay and terrain residuals. Consequently, deformation monitoring accuracy is limited to the centimeter level, limiting its scope of application.

[0004] Traditional time-series InSAR methods effectively suppress atmospheric interference and achieve millimeter-level deformation monitoring accuracy by jointly analyzing multi-view SAR imagery. Persistent Scatterer (PS) InSAR and Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) InSAR, as mainstream methods, are commonly used for monitoring continuous, slow, landmark target deformations but cannot be directly applied to extract step deformations.

[0005] Image stacking technology improves deformation observation accuracy by overlaying multiple image observations to mitigate phase errors caused by atmospheric or topographic factors. However, in areas with significant temporal decoherence, such as densely vegetated areas, this technology struggles to obtain sufficiently effective interferometric pairs. Furthermore, decoherent regions from multiple images accumulate in the deformation map after stacking, resulting in information loss and limiting its application.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a deformation extraction method that can obtain surface step deformation with high efficiency and high precision. Summary of the Invention

[0055] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0057] In the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a surface step deformation extraction method based on time-series InSAR provided by an embodiment of the present application is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0058] The step deformations caused by events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions exhibit significant temporal characteristics. These deformation processes occur on the order of seconds, a timescale three orders of magnitude different from the SAR satellite revisit period (typically 10-30 days). This temporal abrupt change provides a key entry point for constructing physical constraint models. This example leverages this characteristic to design a step model based on a continuous function and incorporates it as a constraint into the time-series InSAR processing.

[0059] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for extracting surface step deformation based on time-series InSAR according to the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a data flow chart of a method for extracting surface step deformation based on time-series InSAR according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the method comprising:

[0060] Step S101: Acquire relevant data of at least one observation point in an observation area; wherein the observation area includes an area with step deformation, and the relevant data includes image, time, terrain and location information;

[0061] Specifically, it includes: defining the vector range of the location where the step deformation exists in the observation point; obtaining the ascending or descending SAR image set, the exact time when the step change occurs, the digital elevation model data and the precise orbit data based on the vector range.

[0062] In one possible implementation, relevant data covering the range where the step deformation occurs is obtained; the data includes SAR image data and auxiliary data, the SAR image data includes ascending SAR imagery or descending SAR imagery, and the auxiliary data includes the time when the step change occurs, digital elevation model data, and precise orbit data; the images are selected as SAR observation images taken 12 months before and 1 month after the step change occurs;

[0063] Furthermore, the vector range where step deformation exists can be the location where disasters such as ground collapse, earthquake, and volcanic eruption occur; the location information where step deformation exists can come from well-known official channels, the digital elevation model data is ALOS WORLD 3D-30m DEM data, and the precise orbit data is POD precise orbit determination ephemeris data.

[0064] Step S102: Based on the small baseline set time series InSAR strategy, baseline screening and time series analysis are performed on the relevant data of each observation point to generate a time series deformation dataset corresponding to each observation point;

[0065] Specifically, it includes: using the small baseline set InSAR method to baseline network the SAR image sets in the relevant data to obtain SAR image data and InSAR processing baseline network; obtaining the unwrapped interferogram based on the baseline network and SAR image data; performing time series analysis and deformation extraction on the unwrapped interferogram to obtain a time series deformation data set.

[0066] Among them, the small baseline set InSAR method is used to perform baseline networking on the SAR image sets in the relevant data to obtain SAR image data and InSAR processing baseline networks, specifically including: aligning all images in the SAR image set to obtain an aligned SAR image set; specifically, taking the master image in the SAR image set as the benchmark, aligning all slave images with the master image to obtain registered slave images; resampling is performed on each registered slave image to obtain a resampled slave image; wherein the coordinate position of the resampled slave image is consistent with the coordinate position of the master image, and the resampled slave image and the master image form an aligned SAR image set.

[0067] It should be noted that in synthetic aperture radar interferometry, the master image refers to the SAR image selected as the reference image in the interferometric pair. It typically exhibits good geometric quality and a moderate temporal and spatial baseline. In subsequent processing, all other images (slave images) are registered and interferometrically processed with the master image. The slave image is the SAR image paired with the master image for interferometric processing. It differs from the master image in time and orbital position, resulting in a phase difference that can be used to infer surface deformation information.

[0068] Then, all images in the aligned SAR image set are paired, a master-slave relationship is established, and a baseline network is formed. The baseline network contains multiple pairing combinations. The temporal baseline and spatial baseline between each pairing combination are calculated. The target pairings are screened from the baseline network according to the baseline threshold to form an interferometric image. The aligned SAR image set, the baseline network, and the interferometric image constitute the SAR image data.

[0069] Among them, the unwrapped interferogram is obtained according to the baseline network and SAR image data, which specifically includes: interferometric processing of the SAR image data based on the baseline network to obtain multiple pairs of interferograms; removing the terrain phase in the interferogram and optimizing the pixels to obtain a quality control interferogram; filtering the quality control interferogram to obtain a filtered interferogram; and unwrapping the filtered interferogram using the minimum cost flow method to obtain an unwrapped interferogram.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the ALOS WORLD 3D-30m DEM data can be used to remove the terrain phase in the interferogram. The average coherence and amplitude deviation values of multiple pairs of interferograms are used to extract low-quality pixels and retain high-quality pixels to obtain quality-controlled interferograms, where the coherence threshold is generally higher than 0.3 and the amplitude deviation threshold is generally lower than 0.4. Then, all quality-controlled interferograms are filtered using the Goldstein method.

[0071] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, the unwrapped interferogram can be input into MintPy or other similar data processing platforms that support time-series InSAR methods to obtain a satellite line-of-sight (LOS) time-series deformation dataset at locations where step deformation occurs. The temporal baseline threshold is typically less than 36 days, and the spatial baseline threshold is typically less than 150 meters.

[0072] Specifically, the unwrapped interferogram and 30m DEM data are imported as input into MintPy (other similar time-series InSAR methods are also acceptable). Following the standard MintPy steps, time-series InSAR processing is performed to obtain a satellite line-of-sight (LOS) time-series deformation dataset (M rows × N columns × K dimensions, where K represents the number of observations) at locations with step deformations. Note that filtering in the time dimension is not permitted in this step.

[0073] Step S103: Calculate the corresponding step deformation time interval value based on the initial time of the step deformation at each observation point and related data; Based on the time interval value, the corresponding time series deformation data set and the preset step steepness control parameter, use the hyperbolic tangent function to construct a step model for each observation point;

[0074] The step model is:

[0075]

[0076] in, is the hyperbolic tangent function; is the time interval of step deformation; is the cumulative deformation sequence in the temporal deformation dataset; parameter is the step steepness control parameter; is the step deformation value; is the linear deformation rate; is the phase reference control parameter.

[0077] In one possible implementation, based on the deformation characteristics and the requirement for model simplicity, the model needs to have the following characteristics:

[0078] (1) The independent variable of this model is time, and the dependent variable is surface deformation;

[0079] (2) The time-deformation curve of the model changes in steps before and after the deformation occurs, and does not change or changes linearly before or after the deformation occurs;

[0080] (3) The model must be composed of continuous functions;

[0081] (4) The model can be combined with time-series InSAR processing.

[0082] Based on the above characteristics, the model is constructed based on the hyperbolic tangent function, which is one of the commonly used hyperbolic functions and is usually denoted as tanh. The function expression is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] The original tanh function is an odd function whose graph passes through the origin and is monotonically increasing. Because it is differentiable throughout its entire domain and its graph is approximately linear near the origin, it is widely used as an activation function in deep learning. When an appropriate constant term is added, the slope of its graph approaches infinity near the origin, allowing it to be used as a step function.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the temporal deformation dataset with step change regions is preprocessed, and the time interval between the observation of each landscape image and the step change is calculated based on the known time of the step change. , earlier than the change time is a negative value, and is a positive value if it is later than. The original time series deformation dataset is straightened into (M×N) rows×K columns; the straightened dataset is used as .

[0086] This embodiment introduces the hyperbolic tangent function to construct a continuous differentiable step model, as shown below:

[0087]

[0088] in, is the cumulative deformation sequence of any observation point on the surface; is a step deformation; is the linear deformation rate; The number of days between the image acquisition time and the step event; parameter Controlling step steepness, This model is used for phase benchmark unification. This model is built based on continuous functions, making the model's expression more concise and easier to solve. Preliminary tests show that the solution time for a single example can reach seconds.

[0089] It should be noted that compared with traditional technologies such as DInSAR and image stacking, this embodiment has a In the process of , it has strong resistance to atmospheric phase error and decoherence error (through the optimization of the step model), The accuracy is higher than that of traditional methods.

[0090] Step S104: Use the least squares method to solve all constructed step models to obtain the linear deformation rate, phase reference control parameter and step deformation value of each observation point; grade the step deformation values of all observation points and visually mark them with colors to generate a step deformation distribution map of the observation area.

[0091] The step model is solved using the least squares algorithm to obtain the step deformation after straightening. ((M×N) rows×1 column), linear deformation rate after straightening ((M × N) rows × 1 column);

[0092] Will and Restore to M rows × N columns, where is the step deformation in the observation area, is the linear deformation rate of the observation area during the observation period.

[0093] The above-mentioned embodiment provides a method for extracting surface step deformation based on time-series InSAR. First, relevant data of observation points in the observation area are obtained. The observation area includes areas where step deformation exists, and the relevant data include image, time, terrain, and location information. Based on the small baseline set time-series InSAR strategy, baseline screening and time series analysis are performed on the relevant data of the observation points to generate a time-series deformation data set corresponding to the observation points. Based on the hyperbolic tangent function, a step model is constructed according to the time-series deformation data set. The step model is solved using the least squares method to obtain a solution result to obtain a step deformation distribution map of the observation area. This embodiment combines the excellent atmospheric interference suppression capability and deformation observation accuracy of time-series InSAR with the advantages of the hyperbolic tangent function's global continuous differentiability and obvious step characteristics to achieve high-efficiency and high-precision step surface deformation extraction.

[0094] It should be noted that the execution entity of the time-series InSAR-based surface step deformation extraction method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be a time-series InSAR-based surface step deformation extraction device, or a control module in the time-series InSAR-based surface step deformation extraction device that is used to execute the loading of the time-series InSAR-based surface step deformation extraction method.

[0101] Then, all images in the aligned SAR image set are paired, a master-slave relationship is established, and a baseline network is formed. The baseline network contains multiple pairing combinations. The temporal baseline and spatial baseline between each pairing combination are calculated. The target pairings are screened from the baseline network according to the baseline threshold to form an interferometric image. The aligned SAR image set, the baseline network, and the interferometric image constitute the SAR image data.

[0102] Among them, the unwrapped interferogram is obtained according to the baseline network and SAR image data, which specifically includes: interferometric processing of the SAR image data based on the baseline network to obtain multiple pairs of interferograms; removing the terrain phase in the interferogram and optimizing the pixels to obtain a quality control interferogram; filtering the quality control interferogram to obtain a filtered interferogram; and unwrapping the filtered interferogram using the minimum cost flow method to obtain an unwrapped interferogram.
