The 2D interferograms obtained by GB-InSAR can be integrated with a 3D terrain model to visually and accurately locate deformed areas. The process has been preliminarily realized by geometric mapping assisted by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). However, due to the line-of-sight (LOS) deformation monitoring, shadow and layover often occur in topographically rugged areas, which makes it difficult to distinguish the deformed points on the slope between the ones on the pavement. The extant resampling and interpolation method, which is designed for solving the scale difference between the point cloud and radar pixels, does not consider the local scattering characteristics difference of slope. The scattering difference information of road surface and slope surface in the terrain model is deeply weakened. We propose a differentiated method with integrated GB-InSAR and terrain surface point cloud. Local geometric and scattering characteristics of the slope were extracted, which account for pavement and slope differentiating. The geometric model is based on a GB-InSAR system with linear repeated-pass and the topographic point cloud relative observation geometry. The scattering model is based on k-nearest neighbor (KNN) points in small patches varies as radar micro-wave incident angle changes. Simulation and a field experiment were conducted in an open-pit mine. The results show that the proposed method effectively distinguishes pavement and slope surface deformation and the abnormal area boundary is partially relieved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20082337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,21]],"date-time":"2020-04-21T04:49:38Z","timestamp":1587444578000},"page":"2337","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Terrain Point Cloud Assisted GB-InSAR Slope and Pavement Deformation Differentiate Method in an Open-Pit Mine"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5819-1215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiangtian","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Science and Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5262-1007","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiufeng","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Science and Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaolin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Safety Science and Technology, Beijing 100012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haitao","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Safety Science and Technology, Beijing 100012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhengxing","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Safety Science and Technology, Beijing 100012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guiwen","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Safety Science and Technology, Beijing 100012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Safety Science and Technology, Beijing 100012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Safety Science and Technology, Beijing 100012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinsong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Surveying and Mapping, Beijing 100038, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zheng, X., Yang, X., Ma, H., Ren, G., Zhang, K., Yang, F., and Li, C.
