Earlier studies have demonstrated the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of using time series radar interferometry (InSAR) technique to measure the ground deformation. However, the accuracy of the advanced differential InSAR techniques, including short baseline subset (SBAS) InSAR, is limited by the temporal deformation models used. In this study, a comparison of four widely used time series deformation models in InSAR, namely Multi Velocity Model (MVM), Permanent Velocity Model (PVM), Seasonal Model (SM) and Cubic Polynomial Model (CPM), was conducted to measure the long-term ground deformation after the construction of road embankment over soft clay subgrade. SBAS-InSAR technique with TerraSAR-X satellite imagery were conducted to generate the time series deformation data over the studied highway. In the experiments, three accuracy indices were applied to show the residual phase, mean temporal coherence and the RMS of high-pass deformation, respectively. In addition, the derived time series deformation maps of the highway based on the four selected models and 17 TerraSAR-X images acquired from June 2014 to November 2015 were compared. The leveling data was also used to validate the experimental results. Our results suggested the Seasonal Model is the most suitable model for the selected study site. Consequently, we analyzed two bridges in detail and three single points distributed near the highway. Compared with the ground leveling deformation measurements and results of other models, SM showed better consistency, with the accuracy of deformation to be \u00b17 mm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11040429","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,20]],"date-time":"2019-02-20T03:05:52Z","timestamp":1550631952000},"page":"429","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Radar Interferometry Time Series to Investigate Deformation of Soft Clay Subgrade Settlement\u2014A Case Study of Lungui Highway, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Xuemin","family":"Xing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410014, China"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney 2109, Australia"}]},{"given":"Hsing-Chung","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney 2109, Australia"}]},{"given":"Lifu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"given":"Junhui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"given":"Zhihui","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenning","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zhang, J., Peng, J., Zheng, J., and Yao, Y.
