PCA Weight Determination-Based InSAR Baseline Optimization Method: A Case Study of the HaiKou Phosphate Mining Area in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China by Weimeng Xu, Jingchun Zhou, Jinliang Wang, Huihui Mei, Xianjun Ou, Baixuan Li

“…The minimum value decreases to 0.248 rad, while the mean and standard deviation are reduced to 1.589 rad and 0.797 rad, respectively, effectively suppressing error fluctuations and enhancing the stability of the inversion; (2) through comparative analysis of the effective pixel ratio and standard deviation of deformation rates, as well as a comprehensive evaluation of the deformation rate probability density function (PDF) distribution, the PCA optimization method maintains a high effective pixel ratio while enhancing sensitivity to surface deformation changes, indicating its advantage in deformation monitoring in complex terrain areas; (3) the combined analysis of spatial autocorrelation (Moran’s I coefficient) and spatial correlation coefficients (Pearson and Spearman) verified the advantages of the PCA optimization method in maintaining spatial structure and result consistency, supporting its ability to achieve higher accuracy and stability in complex surface deformation monitoring. …”
