Enhanced Land Subsidence Interpolation through a Hybrid Deep Convolutional Neural Network and InSAR Time Series

Zahra Azarm, Hamid Mehrabi, and Saeed Nadi

Abstract. Land subsidence, the gradual or sudden sinking of the land, poses a global threat to infrastructure and the environment. This paper introduced a hybrid method based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) and persistent scattered interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PSInSAR) to estimate land subsidence in areas where PSInSAR cannot provide reliable measurements. This approach involves training a deep CNN with subsidence driving forces and PSInSAR data to learn patterns and estimate subsidence values. Our evaluation of the model shows its efficiency in overcoming the discontinuities observed in the PSInSAR results, producing a continuous subsidence surface. The deep CNN was evaluated on training, validation, and testing data, resulting in mean squared errors of 5 mm, 9 mm, and 11 mm, respectively. In contrast, the kriging interpolation method showed a mean square error of 37.19 mm in the experimental data set. subsidence prediction using the deep CNN method showed a 70 % improvement compared to the Kriging interpolation method.

Short summary
The article introduces a new method using deep CNN and PSInSAR to estimate land subsidence, addressing the limitations of traditional methods. It focuses on Isfahan province, demonstrating substantial improvement over traditional techniques. The deep CNN method showed a 70 % enhancement in subsidence prediction, with the study area experiencing over 38 cm of subsidence between 2014 and 2020.
