Monitoring urban area by means of long term DInSAR time series

The work is focused on the exploitation of the results of a DInSAR analysis applied to ERS-ENVISAT and CSM data. The derived data are adopted to implement a multilevel analysis approach to investigate built-up areas at wide and local scales. The adopted analysis is aimed at performing: a territorial analysis to evaluate the distribution of large-scale deformation processes; an aggregated analysis applied at settlement scale to identify critical areas by providing building classification maps; a single structure damage assessment, using semi-quantitative and quantitative models to evaluate the stability of a structure and the potential damage scenarios.
