Factors influencing the effectiveness of SM-VCE method in solving 3D surface deformation by Xupeng Liu, Guangyu Xu, Mingkai Chen, Tengxu Zhang

“…As of now, there are two main types of methods for recovering coseismic 3D surface deformations: the first type is to solve the problem directly by using the least squares method based on observations from three or more viewpoints, and the second type solves the problem by combining ascending and descending InSAR line-of-sight (LOS) observations with constraint models. …”
