Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to, but is not limited to, the field of remote sensing monitoring and disaster early warning technology, and particularly relates to a high-precision monitoring and early warning method and system for surface deformation based on spaceborne SAR. Background Technology
[0002] Surface deformation monitoring is a key technology for ensuring the safety of important facilities such as oil and gas pipelines, urban infrastructure, and mining areas. Surface deformation can be caused by a variety of factors, including geological tectonic movements, underground mining, groundwater extraction, and pipeline leaks. If it is not detected and warned in time, it may lead to serious consequences such as pipeline rupture, building tilting, and ground subsidence.
[0003] Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) technology utilizes spaceborne SAR satellites to image the same area multiple times. Through interferometric phase analysis, it can detect surface deformation at the millimeter level. It boasts advantages such as wide coverage, high monitoring accuracy, and immunity to cloud and rain weather, making it the preferred technology for large-scale surface deformation monitoring. However, existing InSAR deformation monitoring technologies have the following problems: Accuracy is limited by atmospheric delay error: changes in water vapor and electron density in the troposphere and ionosphere introduce interference phase error, affecting the accuracy of deformation measurement. Especially in mountainous and high-latitude regions, atmospheric error can reach the centimeter level, which seriously reduces the reliability of millimeter-level deformation detection.
[0004] Insufficient time series analysis capability: Traditional D-InSAR technology is mainly used for deformation detection between two imaging sessions, which makes it difficult to reveal the long-term evolution trend and periodicity of deformation, and has limited ability to identify gradual disasters in their early stages.
[0005] The early warning mechanism is simple and crude: most existing systems use fixed thresholds to trigger alarms, which fail to take into account the geological characteristics and historical baselines of different regions, resulting in low alarm accuracy and widespread false alarms and missed alarms.
[0006] Lack of spatial correlation with infrastructure: There is a lack of accurate spatial correlation analysis between deformation data and infrastructure such as pipelines and buildings, making it difficult to assess the actual threat level of deformation to specific facilities.
[0007] Based on the above analysis, the urgent technical problems that need to be solved in the existing technology are: Atmospheric error correction methods are not precise enough, deformation trend prediction capabilities are insufficient, and early warning models are too simple, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision and intelligent deformation monitoring and early warning. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Risk score calculation: The comprehensive risk score is calculated using a weighted summation or machine learning model.
[0032] Early warning levels: Based on risk scores, early warnings are divided into four levels: red (high risk, immediate response), orange (medium to high risk, time-limited handling), yellow (medium risk, close monitoring), and blue (low risk, routine monitoring).
[0033] Threshold Adaptive: Based on historical data and regional characteristics, the warning threshold is dynamically adjusted to reduce the false alarm rate.

[0047] This invention enables adaptive adjustment of early warning thresholds: It dynamically adjusts early warning thresholds based on regional historical data and seasonal changes, avoiding the adaptability issues of fixed thresholds in different regions and periods, and improving the practicality and reliability of the early warning system.
[0048] (1) The expected benefits and commercial value of the technical solution of this invention after transformation are as follows: This invention can be applied to deformation monitoring and early warning in scenarios such as oil and gas pipelines, mining areas, and urban areas prone to geological disasters. By detecting deformation anomalies in advance and predicting their development trends, it is possible to effectively prevent casualties and property losses caused by geological disasters. Taking a large oil and gas field as an example, using this invention can avoid potential losses of tens of millions of yuan annually.
[0049] (2) The technical solution of this invention fills a technical gap in the industry both domestically and internationally: Most existing InSAR monitoring systems are limited to historical deformation inversion and lack the ability to predict deformation trends. This invention is the first to combine time series prediction models with InSAR technology, achieving a leap from "monitoring" to "early warning" and filling a technological gap in this field.
[0050] (3) The technical solution of the present invention solves a technical problem that people have long wanted to solve but have never been able to solve successfully: Achieving breakthroughs in InSAR atmospheric error correction and intelligent early warning has always been a challenge for the industry. This invention, by integrating multi-source atmospheric products and constructing a multi-factor risk model, achieves for the first time the organic combination of millimeter-level precision monitoring and intelligent early warning.
[0051] (4) The technical solution of the present invention overcomes technical bias: It is widely believed in the industry that InSAR atmospheric error correction has reached its limit, making it difficult to further improve accuracy. This invention, by integrating external atmospheric products with spatial statistical methods, demonstrates that there is still significant room for improvement in atmospheric error correction, thus overcoming this technical bias.

[0106] In S2, tropospheric delay is calculated using atmospheric reanalysis data and ionospheric delay is calculated using global ionospheric TEC data, with residual error controlled within 2 mm.

[0110] As a preferred embodiment, the high-precision atmospheric phase correction method provided by the present invention uses external atmospheric reanalysis data and GNSS observation data to calculate tropospheric and ionospheric delay errors, and combines spatial filtering methods to remove residual errors, achieving millimeter-level accuracy after correction.
[0111] As a preferred embodiment, the deformation trend prediction method provided by the present invention is based on InSAR deformation time series and uses a time series prediction model to perform multi-scale trend extrapolation, with a prediction time span covering one week to one year.
[0112] Preferably, the high-precision monitoring and early warning system for surface deformation based on spaceborne SAR provided in this embodiment of the invention specifically includes: The SAR image processing module is used for image preprocessing and interferometric processing.
[0113] Atmospheric correction module, used for high-precision atmospheric phase error correction.
[0114] The timing analysis module is used for PS identification and timing analysis.
[0115] The trend prediction module is used for multi-scale trend prediction.
[0116] The risk assessment module is used for multi-factor risk assessment and tiered early warning.
[0117] The early warning management module is used to manage early warning information, dynamically adjust thresholds, and generate early warning reports.
[0118] The data visualization module is used to display deformation heatmaps, time series curves, early warning distribution maps, and profile analysis diagrams.
[0119] Example 1 In a shale gas pipeline monitoring application, the system acquired 36 Sentinel-1 SAR images covering the pipeline corridor over a period of 18 months. After the SAR image processing module performed fine orbit correction and registration on the images, the atmospheric correction module used ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis data and regional GNSS station data to correct for tropospheric and ionospheric errors.
[0120] The time-series analysis module identified over 50,000 permanent scatterer points, covering a 3-kilometer radius on both sides of the pipeline, with an average point density of 150 points per square kilometer. The system extracted the cumulative deformation and deformation rate of each PS point, generating a deformation rate raster map along the pipeline.
[0121] Within the pipeline mileage range of K75-K80, the system detected an abnormal area with an average deformation rate of 25 mm / year. The trend prediction module analyzed this area and predicted that the cumulative deformation would increase by approximately 15 mm within the next 6 months, showing an accelerating trend. After comprehensive evaluation, the risk assessment module designated the area as orange (medium-high risk) and recommended timely intervention.
[0122] Example 2 In a settlement monitoring application in a mining area, the system conducts long-term monitoring of the mining area and a surrounding 5-kilometer radius. The time-series analysis module found that the deformation rate at the center of the mining area reaches a maximum of 80 mm / year, exhibiting a funnel-shaped settlement pattern, with the settlement center shifting approximately 50 meters northeastward each year.
[0123] The trend prediction module uses an LSTM neural network to model the subsidence evolution, incorporating factors such as the mining face advance speed and groundwater level changes. The model predicts that within the next year, the subsidence impact will extend to 200 meters beyond the mining area boundary, potentially affecting nearby power transmission line foundations.
[0124] The risk assessment module raised the warning level of the area surrounding the transmission line to red (high risk). The system automatically generated a warning report and pushed it to the power department and the mine management department, recommending that a joint investigation and reinforcement operation be carried out immediately.
[0125] Example 3 In an application for geological hazard investigation in a certain city, the system conducted a deformation survey across the entire city. In old urban areas that were difficult to cover with traditional geological surveys, InSAR monitoring revealed differential settlement in multiple building complexes, with settlement rates ranging from 2 to 15 mm / year.
[0126] The system classifies and analyzes each settlement zone: for areas with stable settlement rates and no acceleration trend, the warning level is set to blue (low risk) and they are included in routine monitoring; for areas with relatively fast settlement rates but tending to converge, the warning level is set to yellow (medium risk) and it is recommended to continue monitoring; for areas with accelerated settlement, the warning level is set to orange or red and it is recommended to conduct on-site investigations.
[0127] The system automatically generates a deformation monitoring report every month, which includes a deformation distribution map, a trend prediction map, and an early warning statistics table to assist urban management departments in making decisions on geological disaster risk control.
[0128] Example 4 The data visualization module of this invention provides multiple display methods: Deformation rate raster: Displays the distribution of regional deformation rate in the form of a heat map, with the color gradually changing from green (stable) to red (intense deformation).
[0129] PS Point Distribution Map: Displays the location and attribute information of permanent scatterer points.
[0130] Time series curve: Click on any PS point to view its deformation time series curve and predicted trend.
[0131] Warning distribution map: Different colors are used to show the distribution and level of each warning area.
[0132] Profile analysis diagram: Deformation profile curves can be extracted along the pipeline or any route.
[0133] Users can select the data type and time range to display through the layer control panel, view the distribution of deformation at different times through the time slider, and view the summary statistics of regional deformation through the statistics panel.
[0134] Example 5: Performance Index Verification Experiment To verify the performance of the high-precision monitoring and early warning method described in this invention, a systematic verification experiment was conducted based on the PS-InSAR+SBAS processing link. The current key gaps lie in atmospheric correction quantization and LSTM prediction verification. The verification experiment covers the following performance indicators: Table 1: Verification Results of Core Performance Indicators
[0135] Standard verification process: 1. Atmospheric Correction: Atmospheric phase filtering and removal are performed using complex domain interpolation (Belmonte method), compared with traditional power-law interpolation methods. The residual phase standard deviation is measured at the stable PS point.
[0136] 2. Verification Observation: Deploy corner reflectors at the GNSS co-location point and collect synchronous data for more than 12 months. Generate an InSAR vs. GNSS time series scatter plot and calculate the mean deviation and standard deviation.
[0137] 3. LSTM Implementation: Using the previous 70% of the deformation time series as the training set, predict the remaining 30%. Report RMSE, MAE, and prediction interval coverage. Compare with the ARIMA benchmark.
[0138] 4. Early Warning Retrospective: Identify 3 to 5 historical slope / pipeline failure events with available SAR data and run the early warning algorithm backward in time. Record the first warning date relative to the known failure date and report the average lead time.
[0139] 5. Early warning classification: Red / orange / yellow / blue thresholds are defined based on deformation rate and acceleration. A confusion matrix is generated using 12 months of continuous monitoring data to calculate the precision and recall for each level.
[0140] Technical basis: The PS-InSAR-GPS bias was verified to be 3.4 mm / year on the LT-1 satellite. The APS interpolation method achieved significant noise reduction in deformed basins. Complex domain interpolation can bypass the phase unwrapping error inherent in traditional methods.
[0141] Validate the data charts: like Figure 4 As shown, a scatter plot is used to compare and verify the InSAR measured deformation with the true GNSS ground values: The scattered points are closely distributed around the 1:1 perfectly congruent line.
[0142] RMSE = 1.07 mm / year.
[0143] 95.0% of the measurement points are within the ±2mm / year accuracy limit.
[0144] The deformation measurement accuracy was verified to reach ±1.5–3.0 mm / year (target value ±2 mm / year), demonstrating the reliability of InSAR deformation measurement after high-precision atmospheric correction.
[0145] like Figure 5 As shown, retrospective early warning verification was performed on four historical failure cases: Settlement KP512: Warning lead time > 80 days, escalating from normal → blue / yellow → orange → red.
[0146] Landslide KP378: Early warning lead time is approximately 40 days.
[0147] Pipeline sinking KP245: Early warning lead time is approximately 50 days.
[0148] Slope failure KP100: Early warning lead time is approximately 30 days.
[0149] All cases met the target value of >30 days early warning lead time (actually 30–90 days), and the warning level gradually upgraded from normal to red, verifying the effectiveness of the tiered early warning system.
[0150] like Figure 6 The image shows the spatial distribution of the residual phase error after atmospheric correction: Average residual error = -1.05 mm.
[0151] Standard deviation = 0.77 mm.
[0152] The residual error is controlled within 2 mm (target value < 2 mm).
[0153] The residual error is lower in densely populated PS points (near cities and infrastructure), verifying the effectiveness of atmospheric phase correction using complex domain interpolation (Belmonte method). The color distribution is uniform from blue (negative error) to red (positive error), with no systematic bias.
[0154] It should be noted that embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both. The hardware portion can be implemented using dedicated logic; the software portion can be stored in memory and executed by a suitable instruction execution system, such as a microprocessor or dedicated-design hardware. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described devices and methods can be implemented using computer-executable instructions and / or included in processor control code, for example, such code provided on a carrier medium such as a disk, CD, or DVD-ROM, a programmable memory such as read-only memory (firmware), or a data carrier such as an optical or electronic signal carrier.
