Abstract

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technology plays a crucial role in monitoring surface deformation and has become widely used in volcanic and earthquake research. With the rapid advancement of satellite technology, InSAR now generates vast volumes of deformation data. Deep learning has revolutionized data analysis, offering exceptional capabilities for processing large datasets. Leveraging these advancements, automatic detection of volcanic and earthquake deformation from extensive InSAR datasets has emerged as a major research focus. In this paper, we first introduce several representative deep learning architectures commonly used in InSAR data analysis, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and Transformer networks. Each architecture offers unique advantages for addressing the challenges of InSAR data. We then systematically review recent progress in the automatic detection and identification of volcanic and earthquake deformation signals from InSAR images using deep learning techniques. This review highlights two key aspects: the design of network architectures and the methodologies for constructing datasets. Finally, we discuss the challenges in automatic detection and propose potential solutions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current applications of deep learning for extracting InSAR deformation features, with a particular focus on earthquake and volcanic monitoring.
