Sentinel-1A Interferometric Pairs for Mining Area Deformation Monitoring

Baojing Zhang published a dataset of Sentinel-1A interferometric pairs on figshare in May 2026. The data supports a proposed multi-scale phase unwrapping method (MAPUNet) for monitoring large gradient deformations in mining areas. The method was validated on simulated interferograms and applied to a mining area in Shanxi, where a maximum settlement of -9.3 cm was observed over one month.

Use Cases

• Training and validating phase unwrapping models based on simulated interferograms with different signal-to-noise ratios.
• Benchmarking InSAR processing methods for large deformation gradients described in the paper.
• Monitoring surface deformation in mining areas based on the described application in Shanxi.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a published method that demonstrated improved accuracy (SSIM increased by 0.298) over a baseline model.
• Includes a specific application result showing a maximum settlement of -9.3 cm within one month for a mining area in Shanxi.

Limitations

• Dataset size is only 5.5 KB, suggesting a very limited scope or number of records.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
