Abstract
Mining-induced subsidence poses a serious hazard to the surrounding environment and infrastructure, necessitating the detection of such subsidence for effective disaster mitigation and the safeguarding of local residents. Fucheng 1 is the first high-resolution mini-satellite interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) launched by China in June 2023. In this study, we used Fucheng 1 SAR images to analyze mining-induced subsidence in Karamay by InSAR Stacking and D-InSAR. The findings were compared with Sentinel-1A imagery to evaluate the effectiveness of Fucheng 1 in monitoring subsidence and its interferometric performance. Analysis revealed significant mining-induced subsidence in Karamay, and the results from Fucheng 1 closely corresponded with those from Sentinel-1A, particularly regarding the extent of the subsidence. It is indicated that the precision of Fucheng 1 SAR imagery has reached leading standards. In addition, due to its higher resolution, the maximum detectable deformation gradient (MDDG) of Fucheng 1 is 2.15 times higher than that of Sentinel images. This study provides data support for the monitoring of mining-induced subsidence in the Karamay and give a theoretical basis for the application of Fucheng 1 in the field of Geohazard monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292) publishes regular research papers, reviews, letters and communications covering all aspects of the remote sensing process, from instrument design and signal processing to the retrieval of geophysical parameters and their application in geosciences. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish experimental, theoretical and computational results in as much detail as possible so that results can be easily reproduced. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
