Internet-of-Things-Based Geotechnical Monitoring Boosted by Satellite InSAR Data
Technical Paper
This paper reports on a cost-effective commercial method for operational ground motion monitoring that combines a network of geotechnical surface sensors with satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data.
Learn how a commercial, cost-effective method combines IoT-based geotechnical sensors and satellite InSAR data to accurately monitor surface displacement.
Understand the complementarity of InSAR for long-term, large-scale precursor detection and IoT sensors for real-time, localized monitoring of consequences.
Discover how in-situ sensor data, such as those from tiltmeters, can be used to refine and optimize the satellite InSAR data analysis.
See a practical demonstration at Gediminas Castle where the combined system detected both gradual displacement precursors and sudden slope failure events in real time.
Grasp that combining these techniques provides "connected operational intelligence," confirming long-term drifts and sudden movements, and assessing the direct threat to monitored infrastructure.
