Accuracy detection of satellite and InSAR technology in the deformation monitoring in civil engineering

Abstract

This paper focuses on the application of Satellite Navigation Positioning System (such as GPS and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System) and InSAR technology in healthy monitoring in civil engineering. Considering the high cost of Satellite Positioning measurement and blind spot of InSAR measurement, it is reasonable to combine both technologies for accomplishing regionally area and focused points monitoring. During the study, the control network points were positioned with GPS measurement technique and height differences were supported with precise levelling measurements. As the result of measurement campaigns, the height differences were determined from the GPS measurements and InSAR measurements respectively. Later on, deformation analysis using the height differences according to provided data from the GPS and the data from the InSAR system were carried out separately. The comparison between GPS and InSAR results will be shown in the paper.
