The research and development described in the article are aimed at the development and implementation of large-scale monitoring of ground surface deformations based on the technology of interferometric processing of multi-pass satellite radar imagery. Periodic monitoring of large areas in order to identify and monitor areas exposed to dangerous deformations is the perspective direction for the development of this area of knowledge. Attention is paid to post-processing of point measurements of displacements of persistent interferometric scatterers based on Sentinel-1A/B medium spatial resolution radar data. Primary processing was performed using the FInSAR software developed by the authors in 2017. The article describes the manipulations with the results necessary to eliminate the negative effects arising in the interferometric processing, and not related to the nature of the studied displacements. The use of a number of methods of geostatistical analysis for identifying and predicting zones of extreme deformations has been justified. The normal quantile-quantile plot, which analyzes the field of average annual displacement rates, was used to detect areas of significant uplift/subsidence. The method of inverse weighted distances adapted to take into account clustering and interferometric coherence was used to interpolate point measurements. The analysis identified zones of interest characterized by significant values of subsidence or multidirectional deformation of ground surface on the territory of the Kaliningrad Region.
