Abstract: Flood disaster can cause farmland inundation, residential damage and other hazards. When the optical sensor extracts the flooded area, it can't penetrate the clouds, so it can't get effective ground information. SAR uses microwave band, which is not affected by weather conditions and can be imaged at night. Therefore, SAR has become a powerful tool for flood disaster assessment. This paper uses Sentinel-1A data of three SAR radar images on September 23, October 5 and October 17, 2021 to calculate the coherence coefficient. The threshold value is set to 0.2 to extract the water inundation range, and the expansion range and change trend are analyzed. According to the generated deformation map, the change of water level rise is analyzed. It is confirmed that the coherence coefficient threshold extraction method based on radar data is feasible in monitoring the flood inundation range. It is verified that InSAR technology can accurately extract water boundary and analyze water level rising trend.

Key words: SAR radar image data, coherence coefficient, threshold selection, submerged range, water level change
