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.

Überwiegend werden eigene originäre Texte und Bilder des EORC genutzt, jedoch sind einige Inhalte von blog post Texten teilweise mit Hilfe von KI überarbeitet worden und einige Bilder sind ganz mit KI erstellt, die jedoch deutlich keine photorealistische Darstellungen abbilden. Aussnahmen sind KI generierte fernerkundliche Datensätze, die explizit für Forschungszwecke mit KI erstellt wurden, hier wird aber durch den assoziierten Text der wissenschaftliche Grund der KI generierten Bilder erläutert.
