Unsupervised on-demand web service for DInSAR processing: The P-SBAS implementation within the ESA G-POD environment

This paper presents the integration of the advanced Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) algorithm referred to as Parallel Small BAseline Subset (P-SBAS) within the ESA´s Grid Processing on Demand (G-POD) environment in the framework of ESA Geohazards Exploitation Platform (GEP). The aim of this activity is to set up a scientific service that allows, in unsupervised manner, the generation of SBAS-DInSAR products, such as surface mean deformation velocity map and the corresponding time series. In particular, such a web tool is aimed at efficiently exploit the huge ESA´s SAR data archives (ERS and ENVISAT), giving a support to scientific users, especially those non-expert of SAR data processing, for interferometric analysis in a short time frame.
