To accurately identify the deformation target and its position, high-accuracy geocoding of the GB-SAR images must be performed to transform them from the two-dimensional plane coordinate system to the three-dimensional (3D) local coordinate system. To overcome difficulties of traditional methods with respect to the selection of control points in GB-SAR images in a complex scattering environment, a high-resolution digital surface model obtained by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial photogrammetry was used to establish a high-accuracy GB-SAR coordinate transformation model. An accurate GB-SAR image geocoding method based on solution space search was proposed. Based on this method, three modules are used for geocoding: framework for the unification of coordinate elements, transformation model, and solution space search of the minimum Euclidean distance. By applying this method to the Laoguanjingtai landslide monitoring experiment on Hailuogou Glacier, a subpixel geocoding accuracy was realized. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method were verified by contrastive analysis and error assessment. The method proposed in this study can be applied for accurate 3D interpretation and analysis of the spatiotemporal characteristic in GB-SAR deformation monitoring and should be popularized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13050832","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,25]],"date-time":"2021-02-25T02:36:13Z","timestamp":1614220573000},"page":"832","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["An Accurate Geocoding Method for GB-SAR Images Based on Solution Space Search and Its Application in Landslide Monitoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8349-2711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jialun","family":"Cai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongguo","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"},{"name":"State-Province Joint Engineering Laboratory of Spatial Information Technology of High-Speed Rail Safety, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoxiang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"},{"name":"State-Province Joint Engineering Laboratory of Spatial Information Technology of High-Speed Rail Safety, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7056-1124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7285-5425","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3839-2794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yin","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6532-9606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaowen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"},{"name":"State-Province Joint Engineering Laboratory of Spatial Information Technology of High-Speed Rail Safety, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0809-7682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"},{"name":"State-Province Joint Engineering Laboratory of Spatial Information Technology of High-Speed Rail Safety, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1109\/MGRS.2019.2963169","article-title":"Ground-Based Differential Interferometry SAR: A Review","volume":"8","author":"Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
