However, traditional goaf detection techniques mainly focus on geophysical methods that are labor intensive, have low efficiency, and are expensive. Due to the large range and off-site monitoring capability of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques, research on goaf location detection based on InSAR measurements has been increasing. This paper proposes a new method for locating underground goaf based on cross-iteration and InSAR measurements. Firstly, the functional relationship between the geometric parameters of the goaf and the line of sight (LOS) deformation retrieved by InSAR techniques is constructed. Then, the three initial model parameters of the probability integration method (PIM) are determined by mining geological conditions. Finally, the cross-iteration method is used to determine the parameters to characterize the spatial location of underground goaf. The experimental results show that the average relative errors of the simulated experiment and the real experiment are 1.5% and 5.1%, respectively, and the inverted goaf parameters are in good agreement with the real values. Moreover, the proposed method only requires the main lithology of the overlying rock in the goaf and does not depend on the accuracy of PIM model parameters. Therefore, this method has engineering application value for the detection of goaf lacking actual measurement data or that caused by illegal mining.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13163204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]],"date-time":"2021-08-12T22:14:36Z","timestamp":1628806476000},"page":"3204","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Underground Goaf Parameters Estimation by Cross-Iteration with InSAR Measurements"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6491-0690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weihao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiancun","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huiwei","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2047-2326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bing","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"425","DOI":"10.1007\/s12665-010-0862-2","article-title":"Researches on detection of 3-D underground cave based on TEM technique","volume":"64","author":"Xue","year":"2011","journal-title":"Environ.
