Abstract

The deformation of the Earth surface or of man-made infrastructures can be studied using satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry (InSAR).
Thanks to new satellite missions and improvements in the complex data processing chains, large amounts of high-quality InSAR data are now readily available.
However, some characteristics of these datasets make them unsuitable to be studied using conventional (geo)imagery softwares.
We present InsarViz, a new Python tool designed specifically to interactively visualize and analyze large InSAR
datasets.
