 This paper proposes a new method for measuring displacement, rotation, and strain rates of Earth's surface mass movements from the matching positions and the parameters of the geometric transformation models. The proposed method uses the least squares matching, LSM, technique to match two or more images taken at different times and compute the velocities, rotations, and strains of the mass movement. The results showed that the LSM improved the accuracy of displacement estimation of the pixel precision normalized cross-correlation, NCC, by over 90%, and improved the accuracy of the transverse and shear strain rate measurements by up to 25%.
