Abstract
Here, we describe the improvements that have enabled the 3D reconstruction and monitoring of buildings, with reference to their protection against and prevention of risks. We focus on buildings affected by systematic displacements related to natural hazards-specifically, landslides. We address the straightforward use of InSAR methods in the detection and characterization of the hazard as well as in higher-level exploitation for geotechnical and structural studies and, more generally, vulnerability analysis.
