CHAPTER ONE
1. Introduction
After 20 years of continuous development of ground-based SAR, many scholars and experts
have conducted research on its application in different fields, so that ground-based SAR can
continue to develop and be suitable for monitoring in different scenarios. In 2018, S. Kuraoka
successfully monitored the eruption process of Hakone volcano in Japan using the IBIS-L
system, proving that GB-InSAR technology is a feasible method for monitoring volcanic
activity. In 2018, in order to study the relationship between the evolution of volcanic
landforms and slope instability, Di Traglia et al. used the joint monitoring method of
COSMO satellite and ground-based SAR to monitor volcanoes in a certain area of Italy. This
method emphasized ground-based SAR equipment and spaceborne SAR. The feasibility of
joint monitoring volcanic activity provides a feasible method for the subsequent study of
volcanic evolution. In 2019, T.carla et al. adopted the method of joint GNSS, spaceborne
SAR and ground-based SAR for a landslide in the alpine region of Italy; the experiment
proved the feasibility of the joint measurement of GNSS technology and InSAR technology,
and has more advantages for GNSS technology in snow-covered areas, which provides ideas
and methods for subsequent joint data and InSAR monitoring in alpine regions [8]. In 2021,
T. Carla et al. used GB-InSAR technology to process and analyze the monitoring data of a
large landslide in the Italian Alps for ten years, and Remote Sens. 2022, 14, 5067.

Sens. 2022, 14, 5067 2 of 20 analyzed the impact of hydrological changes on the surface
deformation rate by combining with precipitation and snowfall data, and constructed a finite
element method. The model models the deformation rate of the landslide mass at different
heights and depths, and experiments demonstrate the importance of long-term GB-InSAR
monitoring. GB-InSAR has a higher sampling frequency, which can describe the dynamic
deformation process of the monitoring target more finely. The high sampling frequency also
brings the problem of a large amount of data. How to quickly calculate the deformation
monitoring results is a hot issue in current research, which is of great significance to the early
warning and prediction of geological disasters. The current GB-InSAR time series methods
mainly use permanent scatterer technology and small baseline set technology. According to
the idea of statistics, modeling and analysis are carried out for points that maintain stable and
reliable phase quality in the time dimension, and finally the time series monitoring results of
the points are obtained. However, these methods require analysis of the entire data set which
is inefficient, and with the accumulation of data, the hardware requirements are also high,
and the future cannot be predicted, which is not conducive to the prevention and control of
geological disasters. In recent years, China and other countries have also carried out relevant
research. In 2019, Wang proposed a real-time ground-based synthetic aperture radar
processing method, (real-time ground-based SAR, RT-GBSAR), which is based on SBAS-
InSAR. The data set is divided into different units for processing, which has the
characteristics of small system resource occupation and fast processing. Izumi et al. adopted
the method of packet processing to realize real-time data processing. Group processing
solves the problem of real-time processing to a certain extent, but it does not have the
function of deformation prediction, and there are still certain limitations in the monitoring of
ground disasters. Long short-term memory (LSTM) is an improvement in the recurrent
neural network (RNN) model, which solves the phenomenon of gradient disappearance and
gradient explosion, and can be used to solve the problem of long-term sequence prediction
problems. In recent years, the LSTM model has also been used in InSAR data processing. In
2021, Liu Qinghao et al. built an LSTM model to predict the land subsidence results obtained
by InSAR time series processing. However, the application of combining the LSTM model
with GB-InSAR to realize deformation prediction and real-time processing is seldom. GB-
InSAR has high frequency and regular sampling frequency, so it is suitable to use the LSTM
model for time series analysis.
