description Today, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites provide large amounts of SAR data at unprecedented temporal resolutions, which promotes hazard dynamic monitoring and disaster mitigation with interferometric SAR (InSAR) technology. This study focuses on big InSAR data dynamical processing in areas of serious decorrelation and large gradient deformation. A new stepwise temporal phase optimization method is proposed to alleviate the decorrelation, customized for deformation parameter dynamical estimation. Subsequently, the sequential estimation theory is introduced to the intermittent small baseline subset (ISBAS) approach to dynamically obtain deformation time series with dense coherent targets. Then, we analyze the reason for the unstable accuracy of deformation parameters using sequential distributed scatterers-ISBAS technology, and construct five indices to describe the quality of deformation parameters pixel-by-pixel. Finally, real data of the post-failure Baige landslide at the Jinsha River in China is used to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.
