Pengaruh Koreksi Ionosfer Terhadap Pergeseran Vertikal Pada Citra Satelit ALOS-PALSAR

Abstract

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is an effective technique for changing the earth's surface with wide coverage and high accuracy. However, the accuracy of InSAR can be affected by wave propagation activity in the atmosphere. The ionospheric medium in the atmosphere contains free electrons which cause unstable waves to produce bias. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the ionosphere in SAR image processing so that it does not contain bias. This study examines the effect of ionospheric correction on vertical deformation in ALOS-PALSAR satellite imagery. The data used includes satellite image data and GNSS. Image data is processed by considering the presence or absence of ionospheric correction so that the results can be analyzed to determine the effect of the ionosphere on SAR images. GNSS data is processed by a static method to produce coordinates that can be used as a reference for validating the results of SAR image processing. The results of SAR and GNSS image processing are then visualized in the form of a vertical deformation map to facilitate the analysis of the results. The results showed that the direction of the vertical deformation in the ionospheric corrected satellite image was consistent with the direction of the vertical deformation in the GNSS. This indicates that the ionospheric correction affects the vertical deformation in the satellite image. In the process of vertical changes, there are obstacles, namely the vertical point reference has not been used as a validation of the results. In addition, there are no other satellite image references to compare the results of the ALOS-PALSAR satellite image processing.
