Geological Survey of Norway (NGU)

Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) and the Norwegian Space Centre will establish a knowledge center that shall be responsible for prioritizing admission, systematic processing, refining methods and the establishment and operation of national ground segment for InSAR production line, and hereby invites offers for a framework agreement for software and methods development within InSAR.
The following objectives have been formulated for the system.
1. Automated nationwide background processing
a. Nationwide deformation map in low resolution (circa 8x2 multilook), based on analysis of distributed scatterers (eg SBAS), updated 1-2 times per year
b. Deformation map of all urban areas in full resolution (5m x 20m), based on persistent scatterer analysis (PSI), updated 1-2 times per month
2. On demand processing for advanced users.
a. Specialized processing with configurable parameters for special needs.
The assignment comprises of:
— Design of the interface with the core ground segment for search and download of data (backend)
— Design of the interface with the processing system (frontend)
— Elaboration and implementation of local archive system for InSAR processing
— Handling of archival data from other sensors
— Handling static supplementary and metadata
— Handling dynamic supplementary and metadata
— Handling of finished processed data
— Develop a flexible and well-documented API that allows heterogeneous, modular processing.
Requirements for bidders
a. Demonstrated capability of InSAR time-series analysis based on Sentinel-1 TOPS SLC products. Ability to process from Sentinel-1 IW RAW is an advantage.
b. Proven experience in InSAR for mapping geohazards.
c. Conditions for open licenses on proposed software and documentation
