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.
New Elite Master “Ecological Forecasting” with Uni Bayreuth started
This fall, the new Master Ecological Forecasting (MEF) in the Elite Network of Bavaria (ENB) has welcomed its first generation of students. The unique programme is an interdisciplinary initiative between University of Bayreuth and University of Würzburg.
