Automatic Detection of Volcanic Unrest Using Blind Source Separation with a Minimum Spanning Tree Based Stability Analysis
Repeated synthetic aperture radar (SAR) acquisitions can be utilized to produce measurements of ground deformations and associated geohazards, such as it can be used to detect signs of volcanic unrest. Existing time series algorithms like permanent scatterer analysis and small baseline subset are co...

Repeated synthetic aperture radar (SAR) acquisitions can be utilized to produce measurements of ground deformations and associated geohazards, such as it can be used to detect signs of volcanic unrest.

To overcome this problem, we have adapted a minimum spanning tree based spatial independent component analysis method to automatically detect sources related to volcanic unrest from a time series of differential interferograms. For a synthetic dataset, we first utilize the algorithm's capability to isolate signals of geophysical interest from atmospheric artifacts, topography, and other noise signals, before monitoring the evolution of these signals through time in order to detect the onset of a period of volcanic unrest, in near real time. In this article, we first demonstrate our approach on synthetic datasets having different signal strengths and temporal complexities.
