The Use of Ground-Based Photogrammetry and SAR Interferometry to Characterize the Surface Motion of an Arctic Glacier

چکیده
Measurements of surface displacement made using GPS, SAR interferometry, and ground-based photogrammetry were compared for a number of targets located close to the terminus of a polythermal arctic glacier. The results showed that average measurements for the winter period made using GPS and SAR interferometry agreed well at most locations. Horizontal and vertical photogrammetric measurements were more variable, reflecting a greater sensitivity to seasonal flow variations. This study shows how the combination of these different measurement techniques is naturally complementary for studies of glacial dynamics. RÉSUMÉ Des données de déplacement de surface prises à l’aide de GPS, d’interférométrie SAR et de photogrammétrie de surface ont été comparées parmi un certain nombre de lieux ciblés localisés à proximité du terminus d’un glacier subpolaire de l’Arctique. Les résultats ont démontré que, pour la période hivernale, les données moyennes obtenus par GPS et interférométrie SAR étaient semblables pour la plupart des sites. Toutefois, les mesures photogrammétriques horizontales et verticales variaient davantage, ce qui reflète leur plus grande sensibilité aux variations saisonnières de l’écoulement. Cette étude démontre comment la combinaison de ces différentes techniques d’échantillonnage de données permet d’obtenir de l’information appariée lors d’études sur la dynamique glaciaire.

Three decades of volume change of a small Greenlandic glacier using ground penetrating radar, Structure from Motion, and aerial photogrammetry
Glaciers in the Arctic are losing mass at an increasing rate. Here we use surface topography derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) and ice volume from ground penetrating radar (GPR) to describe the 2014 state of Aqqutikitsoq glacier (2.85 km) on Greenland’s west coast. A photogrammetrically derived 1985 digital elevation model (DEM) was subtracted from a 2014 DEM obtained using land-based Sf...

متن کاملOptions for High-Precision Motion Compensation for Airborne Differential SAR Interferometry
In recent years, differential interferometry using space-borne SAR sensors has become an established technique for detecting and monitoring centimetre-scale deformations of the earth’s surface, as well as glacier flows and land slides. Although often very efficient, the use of space-borne SAR data has several drawbacks, namely phase artifacts caused by atmospheric effects and very low coherence...
متن کاملDeriving Ice Motion Patterns in Mountainous Regions by Integrating the Intensity-Based Pixel-Tracking and Phase-Based D-InSAR and MAI Approaches: A Case Study of the Chongce Glacier
As a sensitive indicator of climate change, mountain glacier dynamics are of great concern, but the ice motion pattern of an entire glacier surface cannot be accurately and efficiently generated by the use of only phase-based or intensity-based methods with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. To derive the ice movement of the whole glacier surface with a high accuracy, an integrated approac...

Two image-to-image patch offset techniques for estimating feature motion between satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are discussed. Intensity tracking, based on patch intensity cross-correlation optimization, and coherence tracking, based on patch coherence optimization, are used to estimate the movement of glacier surfaces between two SAR images in both slant-range and azimuth dire...
