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.
In the News: Monid Habitrack Featured in Süddeutsche Zeitung
Süddeutsche Zeitung recently covered our Monid Habitrack project, and we're happy to share it. The article follows the research team at work in the Oberpfalz, where our drones map vegetation and surface temperature while ticks are collected on the ground and tested...
