Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image data, and particularly to a lightweight deep learning method and device for correcting the delay of the temporal InSAR turbulent layer. Background Art

[0002] InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is an important remote sensing technology for monitoring surface deformations such as ground subsidence, earthquakes, and landslides. Currently, there are mainly three categories of methods to mitigate the impact of Atmospheric Phase Screen (APS) on InSAR. The first category relies on external auxiliary observation data. For example, the tropospheric delay correction at the regional scale is achieved by spatial interpolation using the Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) measured by GNSS stations, or the regional water vapor content distribution map is obtained by means of ground-based water vapor radiometers and satellite remote sensing sensors (such as MODIS and MERIS). These methods have high accuracy, but are limited by the insufficient coverage of ground stations and the susceptibility of optical remote sensing to cloud cover, so there are limitations in practical applications. The second category of methods is based on atmospheric numerical models and reanalysis datasets, such as ERA-I, WRF, and ECMWF, and uses the interpolated atmospheric delay data in the model for APS correction. Although this category of methods can weaken the large-scale APS, the spatial resolution is limited, and it is difficult to capture the local-scale atmospheric turbulence characteristics. In addition, even the advanced GACOS service that integrates ECMWF and GNSS data cannot fully describe the heterogeneity of the local atmosphere. The third category of methods directly performs spatio-temporal filtering on the interferogram itself to statistically estimate and eliminate the atmospheric phase. This method is sensitive to local atmospheric changes, but it is difficult to effectively distinguish the phase changes caused by turbulent noise and short-term deformation events.

Detailed implementation manners

[0028] To enable those of ordinary skill in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description, claims and above-mentioned drawings of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0030] Before introducing in detail the lightweight deep learning method for temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay correction provided by the embodiments of the present application, a brief introduction to the application scenarios involved in the embodiments of the present application will be given first.

[0031] InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is an important remote sensing technology for monitoring surface deformations such as ground subsidence, earthquakes, and landslides. However, the measurement accuracy of InSAR is often affected by atmospheric disturbances, especially tropospheric turbulence effects and atmospheric phase screen (APS) effects. This atmospheric phase screen is caused by the non-uniform distribution of water vapor in the atmosphere, resulting in a phase shift of the radar signal, thereby affecting the accurate measurement of the ground deformation signal.

[0032] At present, there are mainly three categories of methods to mitigate the impact of atmospheric phase screening (APS) on InSAR. The first category relies on external auxiliary observation data. These methods have high accuracy, but are limited in practical applications due to insufficient ground station coverage and the vulnerability of optical remote sensing to cloud cover. The second category of methods is based on atmospheric numerical models and reanalysis datasets. Although these methods can weaken large-scale APS, their spatial resolution is limited, making it difficult to capture the characteristics of atmospheric turbulence at the local scale. The third category of methods directly performs spatio-temporal filtering on the interferogram itself to estimate and eliminate the atmospheric phase statistically. It has been found through research that the InSAR processing method based on the spatio-temporal filtering of the characteristics of the interferogram itself uses the statistical characteristics of the interferogram to identify and remove the influence of the atmospheric phase. Although this method can better capture local atmospheric changes and overcome the limitations of external data methods, it still fails to consider the phase changes brought about by vertical stratification delay and seasonal variations. Especially when dealing with non-linear or sudden settlement events, it is difficult for the filtering methods in related technologies to effectively distinguish between atmospheric turbulence noise and real deformation signals. In addition, most of the traditional models describing the atmosphere in the turbulent layer are based on the isotropic assumption. A major defect of related technologies is their reliance on simplified atmospheric turbulence models. These models fail to fully address the spatial heterogeneity and varying structure of atmospheric delay, resulting in a decline in performance under actual atmospheric backgrounds. Especially in regions with high humidity and large temperature gradients such as coastal and mountainous areas, the atmospheric turbulence effect is more complex, and the traditional isotropic models cannot accurately describe the atmospheric changes in these regions, limiting their application in these complex environments.

[0033] To address the above problems, this application proposes a lightweight deep learning method for temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay correction. By introducing an anisotropic variogram model, the spatial decay parameters related to different directions are obtained to simulate the variation characteristics of atmospheric phase delay in different directions, making the simulated temporal InSAR training dataset constructed based on this anisotropic variogram model closer to the actual observation situation, so that the atmospheric turbulence noise characteristics in the simulated temporal InSAR training dataset can more accurately represent the atmospheric delay characteristics of the target area. Thus, the target model obtained based on this simulated temporal InSAR training dataset can more effectively remove the noise generated by the anisotropic effect of the atmospheric turbulent layer in the InSAR data of the target area, so as to achieve effective correction of the temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay, improve the InSAR measurement accuracy, and thus greatly improve the measurement accuracy of ground deformation signals.

[0034] For the sake of easy understanding, the following specifically introduces the lightweight deep learning method for temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay correction provided by this application in combination with the accompanying drawings. This lightweight deep learning method for temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay correction is applied to the above-mentioned lightweight deep learning system for temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay correction.

[0035] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a lightweight deep learning method for temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay correction shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the lightweight deep learning method for temporal InSAR turbulent layer delay correction includes the following steps.

[0036] S11, Obtain InSAR data of the target area.

[0037] The InSAR data includes the original SAR image, interferogram, and coherence map; Original SAR image: Complex radar images (including amplitude and phase information) acquired at different times in the same area.

[0038] Interferogram: A phase difference map of two SAR images, recording minute surface deformations or elevation changes.

[0039] Coherence map: Reflects the correlation of two radar echo signals (value range 0 - 1), used to evaluate data reliability.

[0040] The above InSAR data (interferometric synthetic aperture radar data) can be microwave remote sensing data obtained through a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite or an airborne platform, combined with interferometry technology to generate high-precision geospatial data for detecting surface deformations, elevation changes, or terrain features.

[0041] S12, Based on geophysical modeling techniques, construct surface deformation signals of InSAR data for different types to obtain simulated InSAR surface deformation data.

[0042] The simulated InSAR ground subsidence data includes surface deformation signals arranged in a time series. This simulated InSAR ground subsidence data can also be simply referred to as InSAR observation data.

[0043] In this step, based on geophysical modeling techniques, simulate the InSAR data for different types of surface deformation signals.

[0044] S13, Based on the geostatistical model, construct the characteristics of atmospheric turbulence noise in InSAR data that adapt to different directions.

[0045] In this step, based on the geostatistical model, simulate the characteristics of atmospheric turbulence noise in InSAR data that adapt to different directions.

[0046] S14, Superimpose and fuse the characteristics of atmospheric turbulence noise and surface deformation signals to obtain a simulated temporal InSAR training dataset.

[0047] S15. Using the mean absolute error between the output data of the preset model during the training process and the simulated InSAR observed ground settlement data as the loss function, the preset model is trained with the simulated time series InSAR training dataset to obtain a target model, which is used to remove the noise characteristics of the turbulent layer in different directions.

[0048] Through the above implementation, by introducing the anisotropic variogram model, the spatial attenuation parameters related to different directions are obtained to simulate the variation characteristics of the atmospheric phase delay in different directions, making the simulated time series InSAR training dataset constructed based on this anisotropic variogram model closer to the actual observation situation, so that the atmospheric turbulence noise characteristics in the simulated time series InSAR training dataset can more accurately represent the atmospheric delay characteristics of the target area. Therefore, the target model obtained based on this simulated time series InSAR training dataset can more effectively remove the noise generated by the anisotropic effect of the atmospheric turbulent layer in the InSAR data of the target area, so as to effectively correct the delay of the time series InSAR turbulent layer, improve the InSAR measurement accuracy, and thus greatly improve the measurement accuracy of the ground deformation signal.

[0049] As a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiment, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, the above implementation is further described through the following implementation steps.

[0050] In one implementation, based on geophysical modeling technology, simulated time series InSAR observed ground settlement data of InSAR data for different types of surface deformation signals are constructed, including: using an elastic half-space spherical point source model and a finite fault displacement model to simulate the surface deformation process of InSAR data; and collecting the surface deformation data generated by the surface deformation during each preset time series according to the preset time series; combining the surface deformation data generated by the surface deformation during each preset time series in the order of time series to obtain the simulated InSAR observed ground settlement data.

[0051] In another implementation, the geostatistical model includes a semivariogram represented by the following formula ; the semivariogram includes the first kind of Bessel function and the second kind of modified Bessel function.

[0052] (1).

[0053] Among them, represents the distance or spatial lag, that is, in the semivariogram, it measures the separation degree of two sampling points in the InSAR data in space (or time) represents the variance upper limit, that is, after the distance between the two sampling points exceeds the preset range, the semivariogram The stable value that it tends to can also be regarded as the maximum variance of the field; denotes the smoothness, The larger the value, the smoother the semivariogram; denotes the correlation length or correlation distance, which controls the range within which the random field is spatially correlated; when exceeds the correlation between fields decreases significantly; The second-kind modified Bessel function, different values will change the shape of the semivariogram to characterize the spatial smoothness and local variability; is the gamma function; is the Bessel function of the first kind, which is used to describe the random field that may have a periodic structure. The larger the function value, the more it indicates that the random field has a period or volatility within a larger range.

[0054] The above semivariogram is also called the anisotropic semivariogram function.

[0055] The anisotropic semivariogram function simulates the variation characteristics of the atmospheric phase delay in different directions through direction-dependent spatial attenuation parameters. These models can more accurately characterize the spatial distribution of atmospheric delay by setting the correlation scales and spatial variabilities in different directions, making the data simulation closer to the actual observation situation, so as to more accurately characterize the atmospheric delay characteristics in InSAR data.

[0056] In another implementation, based on the geostatistical model, the characteristics of atmospheric turbulence noise in InSAR data adapted to different directions are constructed, including: using different preset attenuation parameter groups to sequentially assign values to the smoothness , the first coefficient of the Bessel function of the first kind, and the second coefficient of the second-kind modified Bessel function, respectively, to obtain the characteristics of atmospheric turbulence noise in different directions characterized by the assigned semivariogram; among them, the preset attenuation parameter group includes a preset smoothness, a first preset coefficient, and a second preset coefficient.

[0057] In another implementation, taking the mean absolute error between the output data of the preset model and the simulated InSAR observed ground settlement data during the training process as the loss function, the preset model is trained by the simulated time-series InSAR training dataset to obtain the target model, including: optimizing the model parameters of the preset model using the Adam optimizer according to the change trend of the mean absolute error obtained each time; determining the model parameters corresponding to the minimum mean absolute error during the training process as the model parameters of the target model.

[0058] In another implementation, the network structure of the preset model includes an encoder, a decoder, and a feature fusion module; the encoder extracts and compresses the spatio-temporal features of the simulated temporal InSAR training dataset through multiple convolutional and pooling layers to obtain a first feature map, and the spatio-temporal features include the change features in the spatial domain and the temporal domain; the decoder is used to gradually decode the spatial features of the first feature map to obtain a second feature map, and the feature dimension of the spatial features of the second feature map is higher than that of the spatial features of the first feature map; the network structure includes 12 convolutional layers and 2 pooling layers; the network structure is constructed by optimizing the interference network using the minimum spanning tree algorithm and through the Squeeze-and-Excitation attention mechanism, depthwise separable convolution, feature pyramid network, and residual connection.

[0059] In another implementation, obtaining the InSAR data of the target area includes: based on the SAR image device, obtaining the geographical image data of the target area and obtaining the meteorological data; the resolution of the SAR image device is higher than the preset resolution; based on the digital elevation model, processing the geographical image data and the meteorological data to obtain the InSAR data.

[0060] As an implementation, the above implementation is specifically implemented in combination with a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for removing the turbulent layer delay and reconstructing the ground settlement signal in the InSAR time series data. By using an anisotropic synthetic dataset, the problems of atmospheric delay spatial heterogeneity and temporal coupling existing in the related technology models are solved. This network combines the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention mechanism, depthwise separable convolution, feature pyramid network (FPN), and residual connection, and can effectively automatically detect and extract the ground settlement signal from the noise-polluted InSAR data.

[0061] Therefore, by introducing the innovative SE attention mechanism and FPN, the feature extraction ability of the network is enhanced, and the recognition ability of the model for weak settlement signals is improved. This implementation is particularly suitable for resource-constrained scenarios and can still achieve efficient and accurate ground settlement monitoring under the conditions of small-scale training data and limited computing resources, overcoming the application bottleneck of traditional methods in large-scale monitoring tasks.

[0062] As a specific implementation, the above implementation is specifically described in the following way.

[0063] First, data collection and preprocessing. Through high-resolution SAR images and related auxiliary data (such as DEM, meteorological data, etc.), based on the DEM data and meteorological data obtained from the SAR image data and digital elevation model, collect the time-series InSAR data of the target area. Perform preprocessing operations such as cropping and interference on the original data to generate time-series InSAR ground settlement data. Second, to solve the problem of scarce data sets in the existing technology, by simulating the time-series ground settlement process under different geological conditions, construct synthetic time-series InSAR training samples with spatio-temporal diversity and considering anisotropic atmospheric turbulence noise.

[0064] Furthermore, to improve the generalization ability of the model, the synthetic data mainly consists of two parts: the synthetic surface deformation trend and the simulated atmospheric noise. The atmospheric noise usually behaves as a regionalized variable, with randomness and structure. Estimate the noise characteristics in the InSAR image through the sample semi-variogram and sample co-variogram. The covariance function is used to describe the attenuation and periodic variation of the noise with distance.

[0065] Collect the geological, topographical, and atmospheric condition data of the target area. Based on the collected data, use geophysical modeling techniques and geostatistical theory to generate simulated InSAR time-series data that can reflect the surface deformation under different atmospheric conditions. The atmospheric noise has the properties of a regionalized variable, including randomness, structure, spatial limitation, and spatial continuity, etc.

[0066] The turbulent layer signal is usually assumed to be isotropic during modeling. This simplification ignores the spatial correlation of the atmospheric phase delay in a specific direction in the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) image, that is, the anisotropic characteristics of the phase change.

[0067] Therefore, the present application uses the method of formula (1) to simulate anisotropic atmospheric delay. In InSAR data processing, the delay of the atmospheric turbulence layer is usually simplified to an isotropic model, that is, it is assumed that the atmospheric phase delay is uniformly distributed in all directions. However, the actual observation results show that the atmospheric delay is not isotropic, but is affected by various factors such as water vapor transport, wind field dynamics, terrain effects, and large-scale weather systems, showing complex anisotropic characteristics in space. This anisotropic characteristic is particularly evident in coastal areas, mountainous areas, and high-humidity climate regions. For example, the thermal difference in the land-sea boundary region leads to a significant trend in the direction of water vapor transport, making the change rate of the atmospheric phase delay in a specific direction significantly higher than that in other directions. In addition, the complex terrain conditions in mountainous areas result in uneven distribution of the turbulence characteristics and water vapor content of the wind field in different directions, so that the atmospheric delay shows significant direction dependence on the spatial scale. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in areas with drastic changes in weather systems or large topographic undulations, directly affecting the phase stability of InSAR time series data.

[0068] The isotropic assumption in the related methods ignores these directional effects, which may lead to a decrease in the accuracy of InSAR deformation monitoring. Especially when performing multi-temporal InSAR (TS-InSAR) analysis or cross-track data fusion, the accumulation of errors may be further aggravated. The anisotropic effect of the atmospheric turbulence layer will make the phase correlation in different directions significantly different, resulting in interference in the extraction of the surface deformation signal, and thus affecting the reliability of InSAR measurement. Therefore, accurately characterizing the anisotropic characteristics of the atmospheric turbulence layer delay is crucial for improving the processing accuracy of InSAR data.

[0069] To achieve this goal, this embodiment introduces an anisotropic variogram, and simulates the change characteristics of the atmospheric phase delay in different directions through direction-related spatial attenuation parameters. These models can more accurately characterize the spatial distribution of atmospheric delay by setting the correlation scales and spatial variabilities in different directions, making the data simulation closer to the actual observation situation. To more accurately characterize the atmospheric delay characteristics in InSAR data, it can be described by formula (1).

[0070] Thirdly, a lightweight convolutional neural network structure is proposed, which combines the SE attention mechanism, residual network, depthwise separable convolution, and feature pyramid network (FPN) to effectively capture the spatio-temporal features in InSAR time series data. Under limited training data and computing resources, automatically identify and extract ground settlement signals and remove atmospheric turbulence noise.

[0071] Such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the networks of the preset model and the target model are based on the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, and incorporate advanced deep learning techniques such as the SE channel attention mechanism, residual structure, depthwise separable convolution, feature pyramid network, and feature pyramid network (FPN) fusion. The network structure includes an encoder, a decoder, and a feature fusion module. The encoder can efficiently extract and compress the spatio-temporal features in the temporal InSAR data through multiple convolutional operations and pooling layers; the decoder restores the original spatial dimension of the feature map by gradually decoding, so as to accurately reconstruct the surface settlement signal. The entire network has 12 convolutional layers, including 2 pooling layers. The pooling operation effectively eliminates the time dimension in the temporal images, so as to more intensively process the spatial features.

[0072] Fourthly, use the constructed InSAR time series dataset to train the designed deep learning network. Adopt a supervised learning method based on a synthetic dataset and use the L1 loss function to iteratively optimize the performance of the network.

[0073] The above dataset is a synthetic time series InSAR ground settlement dataset.

[0074] Collect data on the geology, terrain, and atmospheric conditions of the target area to provide appropriate background information for simulation. Based on the collected data, combined with geophysical modeling techniques and geostatistical theory, construct a simulated InSAR time series dataset to reflect surface deformation and turbulent layer noise under different atmospheric conditions. Atmospheric noise has the properties of regionalized variables, including characteristics such as randomness, structuralness, spatial limitation, and spatial continuity. Introduce a geostatistical model to simulate the anisotropic characteristics of the atmospheric turbulent layer.

[0075] By setting the spatial attenuation parameters in different directions, the variation characteristics of the atmospheric turbulent layer noise in different directions can be simulated, avoiding the simplified assumptions of traditional isotropic models and accurately capturing the complex directional dependence presented by atmospheric delay in space. Use the modified Bessel function and the Bessel function of the first kind to construct the characteristics of atmospheric turbulent noise adapted to different directions, so as to better simulate the anisotropy of atmospheric delay and improve the accuracy of the synthetic sample dataset. At the same time, considering that the true surface settlement signal is usually not directly available, use the elastic half-space spherical point source model and the finite fault displacement model to simulate the surface deformation process. By randomly setting the deformation time, different types of surface deformation patterns are simulated to generate time-series surface deformation samples that conform to the actual observation data. Finally, superimpose the simulated turbulent noise and the surface deformation signal to construct a synthetic InSAR training sample with spatio-temporal diversity and reflecting the characteristics of anisotropic atmospheric turbulent noise for subsequent model training and optimization. The dataset production process is as shown in Figure 3 the atmospheric noise map shown in (a) in Figure 3The time-series ground settlement map shown in (b) and Figure 3 The simulated time-series ground settlement image map with noise shown in (c). Fifth, the trained model is verified using simulated data and real data. By comparing with traditional methods, the performance of the model in removing atmospheric turbulence noise and reconstructing the ground settlement signal is evaluated. Statistical evaluation results show that the model has shown significant performance improvement in indicators such as standard deviation and variogram analysis.

[0076] Sixth, the deformation information of the real InSAR data before and after denoising is compared and verified with the leveling data.

[0077] Seventh, to verify the generalization ability and practical applicability of the above embodiments, real InSAR time-series data in the Yellow River Delta region is selected as a test case.

[0078] Optionally, the training design of the preset model is implemented under the PyTorch framework.

[0079] The specific training design process includes: Based on the prepared dataset, model training is carried out on an operation platform with an RTX4090 graphics card with 24GB of video processing unit (GPU) memory, an Intel i9-13900K CPU, and 128GB of running memory; the input data of the network is 9 consecutive time-series InSAR images, and the image size in the training dataset is uniformly 192×192 pixels. To improve the training stability and convergence efficiency of the network, all input data is normalized before entering the network to eliminate the scale differences between different images. The network captures the change features in both the spatial domain and the time domain through a three-dimensional convolutional kernel (2×3×3), thereby effectively learning spatio-temporal information.

[0080] The training of the network uses the L1 (MAE) loss function (MAE loss MAE (Mean Absolute Error, average absolute error) is usually also called L1-Loss, which measures the difference between the predicted value and the real value by taking the average of the absolute differences), aiming to accurately capture the absolute difference between the prediction result and the actual ground settlement signal and reduce the negative impact of extreme errors on network training. During the training process, the Adam optimizer is used to accelerate the convergence and optimization of network parameters to ensure stable and efficient updates during training. The initial learning rate is set to 0.0001 and dynamically adjusted through an exponential decay strategy to further improve the training efficiency. During the training phase, both the training loss and the test loss of the model show a rapid downward trend (such as Figure 4The network training set and validation set loss curves shown in (a) therein tend to stabilize within 50 epochs, indicating that the model can effectively generalize to the test data. In terms of evaluation metrics, the structural similarity index (SSIM) of the model increases from the initial value of 0.68 to 0.97, and the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) increases from 45 dB to 60 dB (as shown in Figure 4 the average SSIM and average PSNR graphs of the training set and validation set shown in (b) therein), verifying the superior performance of the model in InSAR image denoising and surface deformation reconstruction.

[0081] To verify the effectiveness of the trained model on the simulated data, simulated time-series InSAR data was used for verification. As shown in Figure 5 in (a) the target image and in (b) the output image of the model in Figure 5, the simulation results at three time steps are respectively shown, including the noisy InSAR image (input), the target noise-free image (target), the model output image, and the difference image between the target and the output image. The results show that the model can effectively remove noise and reconstruct the surface subsidence signal. The output image is highly consistent with the target image, the contour of the subsidence area is clear, and the center of the subsidence area is almost exactly the same as the target position. The profile analysis shows that the deformation amount of the model output and the target image in the subsidence area is almost exactly the same, successfully recovering the maximum deformation amount at the subsidence center and maintaining the smooth transition of the deformation. Compared with the noisy image, the model greatly reduces the error caused by turbulent noise. In the statistical analysis of the subsidence area, the difference in the number of subsidence pixels output by the model and the target image is less than 2.7%, and compared with the noisy image, the model significantly reduces the non-real subsidence area. The change in the time-series subsidence value at the center point of the subsidence area shows that the result after the model denoising is highly consistent with the true value of the target image, verifying the superior performance of the model in removing atmospheric noise and accurately reconstructing the subsidence signal.

[0082] To verify the effectiveness of the deep learning denoising method proposed in this application in practical applications, real-time InSAR data of the Liaohe Plain was used for verification. A complex geological and climatic area was selected as the target area for the implementation of the method. This target area can be an area rich in underground resources. For example, this target area can be some important oil-producing areas. Specifically, this target area can include the First Oilfield and the Second Oilfield at the same time. Long-term oil and gas extraction activities in this area have led to the extraction of underground fluids and the compaction of strata, thereby triggering significant surface subsidence. In the time-series InSAR deformation images after denoising using the deep learning method, the research period is from April 2022 to January 2024. Compared with the original automated processing results ( Figure 6 ), the atmospheric noise in the denoised image is almost completely eliminated, and the deformation signal shows a highly clear and stable spatial distribution ( Figure 7). In the denoised image, the background area becomes significantly uniform, and the deformation characteristics of the subsidence area are more distinct.

[0083] Figure 8 (a) in Figure 8 and (b) in Figure 8 respectively show the distribution of land subsidence in the Liaohe Plain before and after denoising. To further verify the effectiveness of the method,

[0084] (c) in

[0085] shows the comparison of the profile distributions before and after denoising. This profile A - A' passes through the subsidence areas of Shuguang Oilfield and Huanxiling Oilfield for comparative analysis. The profile line before denoising (gray) shows strong high - frequency oscillation characteristics. In contrast, the profile line after denoising (orange) is significantly smoother, with almost all noise eliminated, the true subsidence signal being accurately extracted, the boundary of the subsidence area being clearly visible, and the subsidence values being more accurate. When the profile A - A' passes through the subsidence area of Shuguang Oilfield, the maximum subsidence value is approximately - 160 mm, and the subsidence center position and boundary shape are clearly presented; the subsidence amplitude in the area of Huanxiling Oilfield is smaller, approximately - 80 mm, but the deformation trend is also clear. The denoising process significantly improves the deformation reconstruction effect of the subsidence area, verifying the performance of the implementation mode of this application in removing noise and accurately extracting the surface subsidence signal. Figure 9 (a) in

[0086] Figure 9 shows the comparison of the standard deviations of the last 10 frames of InSAR images before and after denoising. The standard deviation before denoising is significantly higher than that after denoising, indicating that there is significant noise and pixel value fluctuation in the original image. After denoising, the standard deviation is significantly reduced, proving that the denoising process effectively reduces the influence of noise and improves the smoothness and consistency of the image.

[0087] Figure 9In (c), the semivariogram plot is shown to compare the spatial variability of the true image before denoising and the denoised image. The denoised image maintains lower semivariance values across the entire distance range, indicating that the model effectively reduces spatial variability and removes most of the noise. By comparing the two curves, the model performs well in denoising, successfully reducing the spatial variability in the image and retaining the main structural features of the image. The reduced variability of the denoised image further indicates that the image is smoother and more consistent, with the noise impact significantly weakened, thus improving the quality of the data.

[0088] To verify the effectiveness of the denoising method proposed in this embodiment in practical applications, this embodiment compares the total deformation distribution of InSAR data and leveling data before and after denoising during the period from September 2022 to September 2023. As Figure 10 shown, through comparison, it is found that there are significant deviations between the un-denoised InSAR data and the leveling data at some stations, especially at stations with large settlement amplitudes (such as P05 and P08). In the background areas with small deformation values (such as P10 to P12), the un-denoised InSAR data is affected by atmospheric noise and shows irregular fluctuations of 20 - 42 mm.

[0089] Furthermore, as Figure 11 shown, the deformation of the time-series InSAR data and the leveling data before and after denoising is analyzed through time-evolution comparison. The box plot shows the deformation error between the data before and after denoising and the leveling data. The results show that there are significant deviations in the un-denoised InSAR data at most stations, especially during time periods or at stations with drastic changes in settlement, where the interference of atmospheric noise is strong. The coincidence degree between the denoised InSAR data and the leveling data is significantly improved, and the overall trend and deformation values are closer to the true deformation.

[0090] Finally, to verify the generalization ability of the method in this paper, this embodiment selects the real InSAR time-series data of the target area for testing. Using the trained model, it is directly applied to the real InSAR data of the target area without additional fine-tuning or re-training, demonstrating the high robustness of this embodiment.
