InSAR Explorer is a QGIS plugin for interactive visualization and analysis of InSAR time-series data. It supports the documented preparation workflows for SARvey, MintPy, MiaplPy, GMTSAR, SARscape, and EGMS. Check the full documentation for supported data formats and preparation instructions.
Install InSAR Explorer from the QGIS Plugin Repository. Search for InSAR Explorer in the QGIS Plugin Manager and click Install.
More information about installation methods is available in the documentation.
Prepare the time-series data as a supported vector or raster layer in the required format. Preparation instructions are available for the documented processing workflows. Sample data are available from the documentation.
Open a supported vector or raster InSAR layer, launch InSAR Explorer, and use the Target/Reference selection tools to interactively inspect time series. Selected time series can be retained and compared, styled, fitted, and exported. See the full usage documentation for the current workflow.
