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 work for MONID-HABITRACK project
Today our researchers from the department working on the MONID-HABITRACK project, that is funded by the BMFTR, went to the field to acquire LiDAR, thermal and multispectral data with their drones. Researcher Andrea Sofía García-de-León and work package lead Dr. Ariane...
