The Synthetic Aperture Radar Persistent Scatterers Online Software Tool (PSTool) is developed by Terrasigna with the purpose of exploiting the large volume of ground displacement data made available with the advent of the ESA Sentinel-1 mission.
The PSTool platform can be used to inspect temporal characteristics of the ground motion, select areas of interest and extract temporal averages of displacement rates, export temporal profiles to standard formats for integration in user’s own platforms and upload user-specific layers on top of the displacement information.
PSTool is intended to be used by end-users with no knowledge of SAR technology, thus it continuously evolves towards the applications while keeping the platform simple and intuitive.
Most of this work was supported by a grant of the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research, CCCDI – UEFISCDI, project number 64PTE/2020, within PNCDI III.
