Susanne Karg started her M.Sc. thesis on „Burn scar detection using polarimetric ALOS-2 time-series data“ in cooperation with DLR-DFD (Günter Strunz, Sandra Martinis). The aim of this thesis is to develop a change-detection approach using polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data and, if suitable data is available, interferometric SAR (InSAR) data to detect fire scars. Within this thesis different polarimetric decomposition approaches and pixel-based classifications will be tested for their suitability to detect a recently burned region of interest. The variables which perform best will then be used for an object-based post-classification refinement.
Field-Based Learning in the High Arctic: EORC Colleagues teach UAS applications at UNIS
The Arctic landscape presents unique challenges and opportunities for earth observation research. This winter, two colleagues from our Earth Observation Research Centre (EORC), Dr. Jakob Schwalb-Willmann and Dr. Mirjana Bevanda, are contributing their expertise as...
