Application of the Coherent Pixels Technique (CPT) to urban monitoring

During the past years, Remote Sensing has become a powerful tool for earth observation. In particular, SAR differential interferometry (DInSAR) has shown to be a very reliable technique for deformation phenomena monitoring, being able to achieve millimetric accuracies. It is the aim of this paper to present and show the potentials of the UPC's advanced DInSAR algorithm, the coherent pixels technique (CPT). Deformation results of different studied areas will be presented, revealing the performances of DInSAR for risk management as well as for the understanding of much geological processes.
