Abstract

By using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors, change detection of earth's surface can be tracked. The SAR is able to rectify the same region at frequent basis, giving information at very high-spatial resolution of the detected site. Radar interferometry (InSAR) and differential interferometry (DInSAR) techniques are unique remote sensing approaches that can be used to map topography and measure surface changes, respectively. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is the surveillance of man-made-induced ground changes based on selected data acquired by the (Sentinel-1) satellite. Sukari gold mine in the eastern desert of Egypt reveals changes due to crushing and grinding of the mountain. Three-pass differential interferometry (DInSAR) technique was applied for the purpose of detecting these changes. Other data such as optical and ground truth were used to verify the areas that show different changes.
