研究目的

To demonstrate the enabled Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) processing of Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission data through SNAP-StaMPS integrated processing and to support the Earth Observation community by providing guidelines for Sentinel-1 TOPS data PSI processing using open source software packages.

研究成果

SNAP-StaMPS integrated processing for semi-automated Sentinel-1 TOPS interferometric time series analysis was successfully demonstrated over Mexico City and the broader area of Rome. The obtained results are in agreement to those of previously published studies. This will enable the scientific community to address new research and applications pathways by exploiting the free and open data policy adopted for the Copernicus Sentinel missions.

研究不足

Although significant part of the described processing workflow is practically automated through SNAP Graph Builder, still some manual work is required for defining the input/output for each interferometric pair. SNAP Bash Processing option cannot be of use in such case.
