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.
From Alternative Crops to Drone Monitoring: Field Day on Drought-Resistant Agriculture
The drought of 2026 has once again highlighted the challenges that increasingly frequent dry periods and heat waves pose to agriculture. Against this background, the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture (LfL) organized a field day in Schwarzenau on 10...
