Two-dimensional (2-D) deformation measurements with ASAR and PHARUS

report
Deformation measurements are important in the field of ground engineering. Deformation can have a non-natural cause (e.g., surface deformation due to tunnel construction) or a natural one (e.g., dike deformation due to a high water level). Radar interferometry can in principle provide deformations with millimetre to centimetre accuracy over large areas. This report describes the work carried out for the BCRS project "2-D deformationmeasurements with ASAR and PHARUS". The objective of this project was:
To develop and evaluate the capabilities and limitations of the combined me ofspaceborne (ASAR) and airborne SAR for two-dimensional deformation measurements in a representative ground engineering application, namely the monitoring of the settlement and deformation of river dikes in The Netherlands.
This report is the sequel to the BCRS report "Repeat pass interferometry with PHARUS" (NRSP-2 report 00-23) which described details of the technique, e.g., about the necessary precision navigation, beam steering etc.
