Recent Advances in SAR and InSAR Processing, Big Data Analysis and Earth Science Applications

Session ID#: 247695

Session Description:

InSAR geodetic imaging has become operational, driven by the extensive SAR data archive from Sentinel-1 A/B. The SAR archive is expanding with missions such as Sentinel-1C/D (C-band), NISAR (L/S-band), ALOS-2/4 and ROSE-L (L-band), Biomass (P-band), SWOT (Ka-band), and commercial X-band SAR constellations. We invite contributions that address the opportunities and challenges presented by these advancements. Topics include: (1) Data Processing Techniques that maximize the utility of densely sampled SAR time-series data from multiple missions and imaging geometries. (2) Investigations into how SAR attributes—such as wavelength, polarization, and imaging geometry—impact the accuracy and uncertainty of geodetic and geophysical parameter estimation (3) Approaches leveraging big data analysis, deep learning, artificial Intelligence, cloud-based processing, and the creation of analysis-ready data products to transition scientific advancements to operational and decision-making applications. (4) Studies that explore novel SAR and InSAR applications, including using closure phase measurements and other innovative observables.
