Deformation monitoring using ground-based synthetic aperture radar (GB-SAR) data usually exploits the interferometric phases. In this letter, a new noninterferometric procedure is proposed, which exploits the geometric content of GB-SAR amplitude imagery and estimates deformation through image matching. This letter describes, step by step, this procedure. In order to achieve acceptable deformation measurement performances, the technique needs special targets, which have to guarantee a good image matching quality. If the available natural targets are insufficient, artificial corner reflectors are required. The new approach overcomes some of the main limitations of GB-SAR interferometry; it yields aliasing-free deformation estimates, is insensitive to atmospheric effects, and provides 2-D displacement measurements while interferometry only has a mono-dimensional measurement capability. Several experiments focusing on the performances of the new procedure are described. The procedure is validated using different scenarios. On a real-size landslide scenario, a mean absolute error over 12 corner reflectors of 0.59 cm is achieved, i.e., 1/85th of the pixel size. These encouraging results can be of interest for several deformation monitoring applications.
