Atlas InSAR

Atlas InSAR is an Advanced Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) processing chain developed by Sixense designed to provide high-precision, tailored monitoring for a broad range of sites and infrastructure assets.

It detects and analyses ground deformations with precision, delivering insights on movement, stability, and geotechnical conditions.  

Powered by satellite data, Atlas InSAR offers comprehensive monitoring that strengthens decision-making and risk management across a range of  applications.  

Overview

Atlas InSAR integrates multi-temporal satellite radar datasets and state-of-the-art interferometric algorithms to detect, quantify, and track millimetric ground displacements over time.  By leveraging time series analysis and rigorous quality control procedures, Atlas InSAR delivers reliable deformation indicators across extensive areas.  

This capability supports: 
•  Early detection of anomalous ground motion .
•  Structural and geotechnical stability assessment .
• Long-term performance monitoring .
• Data-driven risk mitigation and asset management .

Atlas InSAR provides consistent, scalable monitoring solutions tailored to transportation networks, urban environments, industrial facilities, and natural slopes.
