Abstract

We present the results of the first experiment to Â¿plugÂ¿ the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) DInSAR algorithm into a GRID-based system; the key idea is to combine the robustness of the exploited advanced interferometric SAR approach with the high computing capability provided by a GRID environment. In particular, we have exploited the low-resolution SBAS algorithm and we benefited of the availability of the ESA Grid Processing-on-demand environment. The presented results, carried out on ENVISAT data, provide a overview of the main characteristics of the implemented SBAS-GRID processing solution.
