Abstract

As a cutting-edge technology in the field of remote sensing, Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) plays a significant role in monitoring urban surface deformation. The traditional multi-temporal InSAR technique can only obtain surface deformation in the line-of-sight (LOS) direction, and there are fewer studies on three-dimensional(3D) deformation monitoring in coastal areas. At the same time, there is a lack of research on integrating GNSS-InSAR data to obtain the three-dimensional deformation field in the San Francisco Bay area. Using ascending and descending orbit InSAR images and GNSS data to monitor ground subsidence in the San Francisco Bay area, various schemes of integrating GNSS and InSAR data to invert the three-dimensional deformation field were analyzed and compared. An improved Robust-Helmert estimation method was proposed to calculate the 3D ground deformation velocity. The results showed that the Robust-Helmert estimation method performed best, with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of 3.96 mm, 6.51 mm, and 2.75 mm in the East-West (E), North-South (N), and Up-Down (U) directions, respectively. It also exhibited more stable solution accuracy and good universality.
