ALBIOM (ALtimetry for BIOMass)

Prime company: DEIMOS SPACE UK LTD (GB)

The ALBIOM project (ALtimetry for BIOMass) proposes to derive forest biomass using SAR Altimetry Data from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 (S3) Mission. Biomass is at present monitored globally using optical satellites, SAR and LiDAR technology, but it is still poorly quantified in most parts of the world, and the satellite data currently exploited for this purpose …

InSAR Short-Time-Series for Land Cover Classification

Interferometric (InSAR) short-time-series of Sentinel-1 SAR data acquired over central Europe were exploited in a new approach for the generation of large-scale thematic maps. Temporal features, extracted from the evolution of the interferometric coherence, together with backscatter, were used as input for a machine learning-based classifier. Three land cover classes were extracted: artificial surfaces, forests, …
