InSAR LOS Displacement Interpretation
Engineering interpretation of processed satellite-derived line-of-sight displacement measurements using structure-appropriate assumptions.
Satellite-Based Infrastructure Monitoring
Service overview
Ozkan Engineering provides engineering interpretation and assessment of satellite-derived InSAR displacement data for bridges and other critical infrastructure. Our focus is not the processing of satellite imagery, but understanding what measured line-of-sight (LOS) displacement data may indicate about the behaviour and performance of a specific structure.
Satellite InSAR measurements represent displacement along the satellite line of sight and require careful interpretation before they can be related to structural movement. We apply structure-appropriate assumptions and engineering assessment to interpret LOS displacement in the context of structural geometry, orientation, expected movement directions, support conditions, temperature effects and other relevant factors.
Where appropriate, satellite-derived displacement trends can be considered together with structural analysis, available inspection information, environmental data and other monitoring observations. This provides an engineering basis for distinguishing expected movement from patterns that may warrant further investigation, targeted monitoring or structural assessment.
Capabilities
Engineering interpretation of processed satellite-derived line-of-sight displacement measurements using structure-appropriate assumptions.
Assessment of displacement patterns and time histories in the context of structural geometry, orientation, support conditions, environmental effects and expected movement mechanisms.
Engineering assessment of satellite-derived movement information for bridges and other critical infrastructure systems.
Interpretation of satellite-derived displacement alongside structural analysis, inspection findings, environmental information and other monitoring data to support further investigation and risk-informed engineering decisions.
Engineering interpretation
Movement data becomes valuable when it is interpreted in an engineering context. Our objective is to move beyond identifying displacement to understanding whether observed trends are consistent with expected structural and environmental behaviour, whether additional investigation may be warranted, and how monitoring information can support asset-management and engineering decisions.
