Abstract. The deformation time series of Persistent Scatterer points show a correlated behavior if they lay on the same rigid structure and therefore undergo the same deformation process. By clustering, such groups of Persistent Scatterer (PS) points can be identified. We use segmented mesh representations of single buildings, to find the optimal assignment of such clusters to parts of the structure. By applying a quality metric, the assignment is judged quantitatively. The proposed method is useful for the integration of PSInSAR into building information modeling (BIM) and aims at a cost-effective city-wide per-building monitoring.
