The paper presents results of SPINUA (Stable Point Interferometry over Unurbanised Areas) Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) processing chain to study Earth surface deformations along the SW coast of the Gulf of Gdańsk, along the SE part of the Baltic Sea. As the input for SPINUA techniques 40 descending ERS-1/2 SLC (Frame = 251, Track = 36) images from the period 1995-2001 has been used. The area of interest (AOI) includes few cities and several towns, villages and harbors. The low lying coastal areas of the SW part of the Gulf of Gdańsk are at risk of floods and marine erosion. The PSI results, however, did not reveal the presence of a regional scale, spatially consistent pattern of displacements. It is likely that any crustal deformations in the AOI simply do not exceed +2 mm/year, which is the velocity threshold we assumed to distinguish between moving and non-moving persistent scatterers (PS). Importantly, for the most part the urban areas of the main cities (Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot) results show ground stability. Nevertheless, significant downward movements up to several mm/year, are locally noticed in the Vistula river delta - alluvial plain system located in the coastal zone east of Gdańsk as well as in the inland area west of the Gdańsk city. Indeed, the highest subsidence rates (-12 mm/year) was observed in the Gdańsk petroleum refinery constructed on alluvial sediments. Thus the anthropogenic loading and consolidation of the recent deposits can locally be an important factor causing ground subsidence.
W artykule opisano wdrażana obecnie na świecie technikę przetwarzania obrazów radarowych: PSInSAR. Polega ona na wykorzystaniu dużej liczby zobrazowań typu SAR w celu detekcji powolnych przemieszczeń punktów PS. Punkty te to tzw. stabilne rozpraszacze, odpowiadające takim obiektom terenu jak budynki, mosty, wiadukty, wychodnie skał itp.. Przetwarzanie długich serii obserwacyjnych umożliwiło eliminacje niektórych ograniczeń klasycznej interferometrii radarowej InSAR. W artykule przedstawiono główne etapy standardowej analizy SPSA oraz założenia analizy zaawansowanej APSA. W pracy poruszony został temat wzbogacenia zbioru punktów PS o punkty, które zachowują się jak stabilne rozpraszacze tylko na ograniczonej liczbie obrazów radarowych, czyli tzw. punkty SPS i TPS. W artykule wymieniono i opisano zarówno zalety jak i ograniczenia techniki PSInSAR.

In this paper the PSInSAR technique has been described. PSInSAR is a new method for radar image processing. It exploits large sets of radar images in order to detect small ground displacements of PS points. PS points are time-coherent radar targets. They correspond to structures such as buildings, bridges, viaducts, outcrops etc. PSInSAR overcomes some limitations of repeat pass InSAR. In this article, the main stages of the SPSA have been presented along with the general principles of APSA. This paper also covers similar information about the SPS and TPS points acting as coherent points only on limited number of radar images. The advantages and disadvantages of the PSInSAR technique have been specified and described.
