Urban land subsidence is one of the important limiting factors for urban development, and strengthening the monitoring of urban surface subsidence contributes to long-term urban planning and construction needs. As a subcentral city in the Yangtze River Delta region of China, it is particularly important for Heifei to enhance the monitoring of surface subsidence. In this study, the persistent scatterer interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PS-InSAR) and small baseline subset (SBAS) techniques were used to process 139 scenes of Sentinel-1A SAR satellite ascending orbit data covering the central urban area of Hefei from July 2015 to July 2020, obtaining subsidence information for the region. The results show that the overall urban area of Heifei is relatively stable, but there are certain deformation trends in local areas. Four regions with obvious deformation were selected for the in-depth analysis of their deformation time series. The experimental study in this paper demonstrates that the PS-InSAR and SBAS techniques can achieve the accurate monitoring of large-scale ground subsidence in urban areas, ensuring the safety of buildings and their surrounding environments, and providing information support for urban security maintenance monitoring.
