InSAR Methodology: Scatterer Types
Distributed Scatterer: many interfering scatterers
Speckle depends on baselines
More Rayleigh-like
Higher amplitude dispersion
Expected higher phase noise
Best filtered over homogeneous areas
Persistent Scatterer: dominated by single scatterer
Low speckle
Gaussian
Often higher amplitude
Low amplitude dispersion
Expected lower phase noise
Best not filtered

Problem: What to do when Distributed Scatterer (DS) InSAR and Persistent
Scatterer (PS) InSAR alone are insufficient?
Answer: Combine them!

catastrophic problems
– Underground pipelines
– Tunnels
• Movement, leading to damaging stresses caused by
