Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spaceborne radar, and in particular, to a method and system for analyzing the measurement accuracy of a three-dimensional surface deformation field of a differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) constellation. Background Art

[0002] The three-dimensional deformation measurement technology of differential interferometric SAR (D-InSAR) is a method that uses the data obtained by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to extract the minute surface deformation information through interferometric processing. By analyzing the phase differences between two or more SAR images, this technology can accurately measure the surface deformation, which is of great significance for the monitoring of natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, urban subsidence, and volcanic activities. However, it should be noted that a single pass of a differential interferometric SAR system can only measure the deformation along the radar line of sight. To obtain the three-dimensional deformation, it is necessary to form a constellation network to obtain the deformations in different lines of sight directions and jointly solve for the three-dimensional deformation of the surface. Conducting research on the analysis of the measurement accuracy of the three-dimensional surface deformation of differential interferometric SAR is of great significance for improving the accuracy of three-dimensional deformation monitoring and reducing the constellation scale.

[0003] The patent document "Method and System for Analyzing and Calculating the Measurement Accuracy of the Deformation Rate of a Differential Interferometric SAR Satellite" (CN202311236266.1) introduces a method and system for analyzing and calculating the measurement accuracy of the deformation rate of a differential interferometric SAR satellite along the line of sight direction under a single pass, but this patent only analyzes the measurement accuracy of the surface deformation rate along the line of sight direction of differential interferometric SAR under a single pass and does not involve the analysis of the measurement accuracy of the three-dimensional surface deformation.

[0004] The patent document "Method and System for Analyzing the Influencing Factors of the Measurement Accuracy of the Deformation Quantity of a Differential Interferometric SAR Satellite" (CN202311204908.X) introduces a method and system for analyzing the influencing factors of the measurement accuracy of the deformation quantity of a differential interferometric SAR satellite, but this patent only analyzes the measurement accuracy of the surface deformation quantity along the line of sight direction of differential interferometric SAR under a single pass and does not involve the analysis of the measurement accuracy of the three-dimensional surface deformation.

[0005] The literature "Extracting the Three-Dimensional Surface Deformation Velocity Field Based on Permanent Scatterer Radar Interferometry with Multiple Satellite Platforms" (Liu Guoxiang, Zhang Rui, Li Tao, et al. Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2012, 55(8): 2598-2610.) proposed a model and algorithm for extracting the three-dimensional surface deformation velocity field based on permanent scatterer radar interferometry with multiple platforms. The vertical displacement velocity field and the horizontal displacement velocity components in the north-south and east-west directions of the observation area were obtained through joint solution and verified with ground leveling and existing GPS observation results. However, this paper only gives the method for inverting the three-dimensional deformation rate and does not involve the analysis of the accuracy of the three-dimensional surface deformation of the constellation.

[0006] The literature "Adaptive Fusion Deformation Measurement of Multi-source InSAR Data Based on Variance Component Estimation" (Ao Meng, Zhang Lu, Liao Mingsheng, et al. Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2020, 63(8): 2901-2911.) improved the classical Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) time-series InSAR analysis method. East-west and north-south deformation parameters were added to its deformation inversion model. The a posteriori variance of multi-source observation data was solved using the variance component estimation method, and the weight matrix was determined through iterative refinement to obtain the optimal estimation of the deformation parameters. However, the paper did not involve the analysis of the surface three-dimensional deformation accuracy of the differential interferometric SAR constellation.

[0007] The literature "Extraction and Analysis of Three-dimensional Co-seismic Deformation of the Ms 6.9 Menyuan Earthquake Based on Sentinel-1" (Pu Songwen, Wen Xin, Zhou Zhiwei, et al. Geospatial Information, 2024, 22(6): 109-112, 117.) based on Sentinel-1 ascending and descending orbit synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, used SAR differential interferometry (D-InSAR) and pixel offset tracking (POT) techniques to obtain multi-angle surface deformations of the Ms 6.9 Menyuan earthquake in Qinghai on January 8, 2022, and extracted the three-dimensional co-seismic deformation field using a three-dimensional deformation estimation model. However, the paper did not involve the analysis of the surface three-dimensional deformation accuracy of the differential interferometric SAR constellation.

These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0072] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for analyzing the measurement accuracy of the three-dimensional surface deformation field of a differential interferometric SAR constellation, including:
