The information and computational system for the massive parallel processing of radar data based on Apache Spark framework

The aim of the presented work is the development of an information computational system for processing radar images with the ability to visualize, configure and run algorithms for the main stages of processing interferometric data by the Persistent Scatterer method integrated with the MPP system (massive parallel processing) for high-performance monitoring of the Earth surface displacement of aerospace survey sites.

As a result of the analysis of the different approaches used in the processing of radar data and the review of distributed computing technologies, a distributed information system based on the architecture of massively parallel execution of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem processes the streaming post-processing of radar images and the construction of a displacement map was proposed and implemented. A software implementation is presented in the form of a web portal based on ReactJS components, including automated downloading and updating of the Sentinel-1A radar image database using RESTful API technology.

The innovation of suggested solution consists of the model of the interaction between developed processing modules based on the isolated execution context with HDFS data storage during the preparing procedure and the complete cycle for the processing of the Earth surface displacement.

An integrated approach to the developing scalable front-end and back-end software complex components with the use of ReactJS, Redux and Apache Spark framework was used for the first time. Supporting of WPS specification makes it possible using almost any GIS, which works with this standard.

The evaluation of a scientific and technological level of research shows high performance of the developed system while maintaining the results quality. In particular, the adapted and integrated ESA SNAP Toolbox returned identical arrays of processed interferometric data in the per-pixel comparison but the speed of the procedure is several times faster.
