New Advances of the P-SBAS Approach for the Generation of SAOCOM-1 L-band DInSAR Time-Series

We present in this work some advances of the Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) technique referred to as Parallel Small BAseline Subset (P-SBAS) approach, allowing us to effectively process the recently available L-band SAR images acquired by the Argentinian SAOCOM-1 constellation. This activity has been carried out within the DInSAR-3M project, co-funded by the Italian Space Agency, which is aimed to develop technical solutions for the joint exploitation of multi-frequency (X-, C- and L- band) and multi-platform (spaceborne and airborne) DInSAR measurements. The main goal is the generation of surface deformation time series and corresponding mean displacement velocity maps, spatially and temporally dense, for the multi-scale analysis of natural and anthropogenic phenomena.The assessment of the developed advances has been carried out by processing several SAOCOM-1 SAR datasets acquired over Italy between 2019 and 2022.
