Although the differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) technique has the potential for monitoring ground deformation with millimetric accuracy, it still suffers from temporal and geometric decorrelation. In this paper, the corner reflectors differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar (CRDInSAR) technique was used to overcome the limitations of conventional DInSAR. We studied the basic principles of CRDInSAR, discussed the calculation of the flat earth and topographic phases based on the geometry of satellite and corner reflectors, presented the phase unwrapping approach for the sparse grid of corner reflectors, then investigated the construction of, and solution to, the unwrapped phase system equation. Subsequently, we applied CRDInSAR to monitor the displacement of the Shuping landslide in Hubei Province, China. In this study, we processed five SAR images on a descending pass acquired by the Environmental Satellite (ENVISAT) Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) sensor from September 2005 to March 2006, and compared the achieved results of CRDInSAR with Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements at the same time of the SAR data acquisition assumed as reference. The result indicates a good agreement between the measurements provided by the two different techniques, which shows that CRDInSAR allows monitoring of slow landslide deformation in low coherence areas and provides accurate results.
