Permanent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSInSAR), with millimeter-level accuracy and full-resolution capabilities, is essential for monitoring urban deformation. With the advancement of SAR sensors in spatial and temporal resolution and the expansion of wide-swath observation capabilities, the number of permanent scatterers (PSs) in high-density urban areas has surged exponentially. To address these computational and memory challenges in high-density urban PSInSAR processing, this paper proposes an efficient method for integrating regular grid partitioning and connected component constraints. First, adaptive dynamic regular grid partitioning was employed to divide monitoring areas into sub-blocks, balancing memory usage and computational efficiency. Second, a weighted least squares adjustment model using common PS points in overlapping regions eliminated systematic inter-sub-block biases, ensuring global consistency. A graph-based connected component constraint mechanism was introduced to resolve multi-component segmentation issues within sub-blocks to preserve discontinuous PS information. Experiments on TerraSAR-X data covering Fuzhou, China (590 km2), demonstrated that the method processed 1.4 × 107 PS points under 32 GB memory constraints, where it achieved a 25-fold efficiency improvement over traditional global PSInSAR. The deformation rates and elevation residuals exhibited high consistency with conventional methods (correlation coefficient ≥ 0.98). This method effectively addresses the issues of memory overflow, connectivity loss between sub-blocks, and cumulative merging errors in large-scale PS networks. It provides an efficient solution for wide-area millimeter-scale deformation monitoring in high-density urban areas, supporting applications such as geohazard early warning and urban infrastructure safety assessment.
