CASE STUDY: HERAKLION CITY WALLS IN CRETE, GREECE​

​Ιn the framework of the Heraklion City Walls case study (Fig.1) a variety of Persistent and Distributed Scatterers are combined aiming to produce highly accurate deformation maps (Persistent Scatterers & Distributed Scatterers Interferometry – PS/DS-InSAR) for predicting the vulnerability of the Venetian city walls to ground deformation in time and space.
 
The dataset that has been utilised is consisted of 175 Single Look Complex (SLC) images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-1A & B satellites in descending orbit for the time period from October 2014 to September 2020
