High-precision measurement in low-coherence areas remains challenging for multitemporal synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR). For instance, over the regions covered by dense vegetation, InSAR merely provides sparse measurement points (MPs) due

Matching of multi-source InSAR point clouds for elevation reconstruction and deformation monitoring
Frequent human activity associated with rapid urbanization may lead to land subsidence and instability of buildings. High-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry plays a significant role in urban monitoring.

Mass movement susceptibility mapping using satellite optical imagery compared with InSAR monitoring: Zigui County, Three Gorges region, China [PDF]
Mass movements on steep slopes are a major hazard to communities and infrastructure in the Three Gorges region, China. Developing susceptibility maps of mass movements is therefore very important in both current and future land use planning.
