Abstract
Description
[0001] Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to the field of surveying and remote sensing technology, specifically to a method for monitoring three-dimensional deformation of buildings based on InSAR point clouds.
[0003] Background Technology
[0004] Housing is a core urban infrastructure for people's livelihood, and its structural deformation is directly related to the safety of people's lives and property. With the acceleration of urbanization in my country, the number of old houses continues to increase, and housing deformation accidents caused by factors such as geological disasters, underground engineering construction, and extreme weather occur frequently. Therefore, monitoring the structural safety of houses has become a core task of urban safety operation and maintenance.
[0005] Traditional methods for monitoring building deformation mainly include precise leveling, total station polar coordinate measurement, static GNSS measurement, and ground-based lidar scanning. Precise leveling and total station measurements offer high accuracy, but their spatial coverage is discrete, limiting monitoring to a limited number of points. Furthermore, they are labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to implement for large-scale continuous monitoring. Static GNSS measurements enable all-weather automated monitoring, but their high equipment cost, low spatial resolution, and inability to acquire detailed building deformation characteristics are significant drawbacks. Ground-based lidar scanning can obtain three-dimensional point clouds of buildings, but data processing is complex, revisit cycles are long, and dynamic monitoring is difficult. None of these methods can meet the dynamic, automated, large-scale, and detailed monitoring needs of densely populated urban housing clusters in modern cities.
[0006] Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) technology, with its advantages of all-weather operation, wide coverage, high spatial resolution, non-contact operation, and low cost, has gradually become a core technology for monitoring surface deformation and building structures. Permanent Scatterer InSAR (PS-InSAR) technology can accurately extract deformation information from rigid permanent scatterers such as roofs, walls, and structures, generating high-density InSAR deformation point clouds, providing a new technical approach for building deformation monitoring. However, existing InSAR-based building deformation monitoring technologies have the following core technical shortcomings:
[0007] 1) Insufficient data integrity of single orbit: Due to the influence of observation geometry, terrain occlusion, shadow overlapping, and temporal decoherence, single orbit SAR satellites have incomplete PS point cloud extraction of buildings, missing data of key facades and corner areas, and cannot reflect the overall deformation shape of buildings.
[0008] 2) Low accuracy of multi-source point cloud fusion: No adaptive registration and fusion algorithm for multi-track InSAR point clouds has been established. The coordinate reference and time reference of point clouds from different tracks are not consistent. Noise and redundant data are not effectively removed, and the accuracy and reliability of deformation observation are greatly reduced.
[0009] 3) Lack of three-dimensional deformation decomposition capability: Traditional technology can only obtain one-dimensional deformation in the radar LOS direction, and cannot calculate the real three-dimensional deformation components of the building in the east, north and vertical directions, making it difficult to support the assessment of safety indicators such as building structure tilt and uneven settlement. Summary of the Invention
