description As remote sensing methods have received a lot of attention, ground-based micro- deformation monitoring radars have been widely used in recent years due to their wide range, high accuracy, and all-day monitoring capability. On the one hand, these monitoring radars break through the limitations of traditional point monitoring equipment such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and fissure meters in terms of monitoring scope and ease of installation. On the other hand, the data types of these monitoring radars are more varied. Therefore, it may be difficult for the data-processing method of traditional point monitoring equipment to take all advantages of this type of radar. In this paper, based on time-series monitoring data of ground-based micro-deformation monitoring radars, three parameters—extent of change (<i>EOC</i>), extent of stability (<i>EOS</i>), and extent of mutation (<i>EOM</i>)—are calculated according to deformation value, coherence and deformation pixels size. Then a method for landslide prediction by combining these three parameters with the inverse velocity method is proposed. The effectiveness of this method is verified by the measured data of a landslide in Yunnan Province, China. The experimental results show that the method can correctly discern deformation areas and provide more accurate monitoring results, especially when the deformation trend changes rapidly. In summary, this method can improve the response rate and prediction accuracy in extreme cases, such as rapid deformation.
