Visualizing the data & preparing for modeling
At roipac.org:
Perl script: unw2png.pl will convert geocoded interferogram to Google Earth kml file and png
Various GMT scripts
Example Matlab script for loading data (by the end of the week)
For GIS software, use .rsc file to create metadata file and perhaps rmg2mag_phs to make a single binary file

Access to topographic data
Source I use most often: SRTM 1 degree tiles either at 3 arcsec (90m) or 1 arcsec for U.S. (30 m)
Also available from seamless USGS server. Can access available Lidar and NED data for U.S.
ASTER GDEM -- posted at 1 arcsecond, but various analysis indicates it is closer to 3 arcsec
Format needs to be I*2 (16 bit) binary file with no header
Need to create .rsc file with upper left coordinates, # of rows and columns, and pixel spacing

Compare resampling methods
The problem: reduce 106-107points to 102-103
Compare:1. Data resolution matrix method(Lohman & Simons, 2005)
2. Curvature based (Simons et al., 2002)
3. “Quadtree” (Jonsson et al., 2002)
4. Uniform
Potential downsides:1. Need to specify a model2 & 3: Sensitive to noisy data4. Need too many points to get

Strategies for combining multiple interferograms
Prerequisite: Need to co-register interferograms either in radar or geographic coordinate. You can do this in ROI_PAC 3.0.1 using process_2pass_master.pl by settin the Do_sim flag in the *.proc file
A time-invariant view is stacking: Just take co-registered interferograms and add them together -- divide by the total time interval to get a rate
A time-variable view is called time-series: including methods called SBAS, PSInSAR, etc.

A stack of interferograms provides multiple constraints on a given time interval

The Basic Idea…
Date
Interferogram Number
Goal: Solve for the deformation history that, in a least-squared sense, fits the set of observations (i.e., interferograms),
Many different methods (e.g., Lundgren et al. (2001), Schmidt & Burgmann, 2003), but SBAS (Berardino et al. (2002)) is perhaps most common one

Persistent scatterers (PS or PSInSAR)
Long Valley Caldera,Hooper et al. 2004
• Select pixels with stable scattering behavior over time
• Only focus on “good” pixels
InSAR– Spatial coherence @ 1 time– Need neighborhoods of good
pts
PS– Coherence @ 1 point– Need > 15-20 scenes
• Added bonus:DEM errors!

Review: Will InSAR work for you?
• What is the local rate of deformation?
– Sensitivity of single igram ~1cm – How many years to get signal this big and will it be overcome by noise?– Can you stack several igrams together?
• What is the scale of deformation?
– Pixel size ~10m, but generally need to average many together– Image size is ~100 km, but if too broad worry about precision of orbits
• What is the local noise?
– How much vegetation/precipitation/water vapor/human cultivation?– Can you only make igrams with data from the same seasons?– Can you get L-band data and find persistent scatterers?
• What data is available? • Is there data from multiple satellites and/or imaging geometries?
• Is a digital elevation model available?
• Do you need rapid response for hazard assessment?

Review: How to set up InSAR capability?
1) Establish access to data • Main sources: see next slide
• How? Can be purchased commercially. Lower cost/no-cost data available with restrictions. In Europe, through ESA. In U.S., through ASF and UNAVCO. Some foreign access is allowed to UNAVCO
Can useful interferograms be made with available data? Worry about ground conditions, radar wavelength, frequency of observations, perpendicular baseline, availability of advanced processing techniques
2) Purchase/Install software to process and visualize data• Open source: ROI_PAC, DORIS, RAT and IDIOT (TU Berlin)• Commercial: Gamma, TR Europa, Vexcel/Atlantis, DIAPASON, SARscape
3) Download/create DEM (SRTM is only +/- 60 degrees latitude, but ASTER G-DEM in 2009)
4) Download precise orbital information & instrument files (Only ERS & Envisat)
5) Interpret results, create stacks, time series, persistent scatterers. May need to buy/downoad/create new software
6) Publish new discoveries and software tools!
