Artificial slope deformation monitoring and analyzing based on SBAS technology by Xiaochuan Huang, Xiaochuan Huang, Xiaochuan Huang, Jincang Liu, Jincang Liu, Jincang Liu, Ting Yang, Ting Yang, Ting Yang, Yun Li, Yun Li, Yun Li, Lipeng Zhou, Lipeng Zhou, Lipeng Zhou

“…To address this gap, we employed the SBAS-InSAR methodology to analyze 44 Sentinel-1 SAR images spanning a highway slope region in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, integrating the slope’s construction timeline to temporally dissect deformation patterns and assess geological risks. Our results revealed a maximum annual average settlement rate of −35.69 mm/yr and a peak cumulative settlement of −28.9 mm, with deformation trends strongly correlated to construction phases—primarily concentrated between April 2022 and March 2023. …”
