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.
EOCap4Africa Training in Kinshasa
This week, 14 students are attending a test run of our Remote Sensing module on Remote Sensing for Biodiversity Conservation at the University of Kinshasa. This module is part of the EOCap4Africa project (funded by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, lead Dr....
