The PolSARpro v6.0 (Biomass Edition) Software proposes a great collection of well-known algorithms and tools and establishes a foundation for the exploitation of polarimetric techniques for scientific developments and stimulates research and applications developments using Pol-SAR, Pol-InSAR, Pol-TomoSAR and Pol-TimeSAR data. The PolSARpro v6.0 (Biomass Edition) Software specific interface performs complete end-to-end processing without the …
Height systems and related sea level observations are based on a number of measurement systems, which all have their own characteristics and deliver different type of observations. Traditionally, sea level is observed at tide gauge stations, which usually also serve as height reference stations for national levelling networks and therefore define a height system of …
Educational materials from the IV ESA EARSEL CNR School: Remote Sensing for Forest Fires held in Rome, Italy, on 3-5 October 2019. Download specific blocks here below or access the full theory and practicals from the window left side link. Introduction to ESA EO Programme and to ESA CCI Programme in the context of Fire (S.Plummer/F.Sarti, …
This project will use various InSAR based approaches to characterize changes in land subsidence rates due to permafrost melting in Greenland and assess the impact such changes are having on critical infrastructure in the region.
This project complements on-going activities and other activities started under this call for proposals by focussing on optimising the techniques for the detection of marine litter in SAR data. This complements the use of optical data and modelling in order to progressively build up an integrated picture as to how marine litter (and marine plastics …
Historically for land application, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery has often been seen only as as complement to optical remote sensing in cloud covered areas. There are several reasons for this: 1) the threshold of interpretation and understanding of SAR imagery is often perceived as very high to an untrained user, 2) the human …
ESA has opened a re-run of the successful Massive Open Online Course ‘Echoes in Space – An Introduction to Radar Remote Sensing’. The re-run is currently accessible free of charge on the eLearning platform EO College (https://eo-college.org), as from 16th September 2019 for a period of 12 months. Registration is possible anytime during the duration …
Being a mountainous country, with long fjords and steep valley sides, Norway is particularly susceptible to large rock avalanches. In the last 100 years, over 170 people have been killed by tsunamis in fjords caused by large rock avalanches. In each case, the rock avalanche was preceded by many years of slow movement, with acceleration …
Characterization of forest biogeochemical cycles is of paramount importance in Earth system science to understand contemporaneous dynamics and for expanding global land models in order to predict future trends of vegetation and climate. Thanks to the increasing amount of spaceborne observations of land and ocean surfaces, data-driven models are revealing intriguing trends and mechanisms and …
The MATTCH project – Machine Learning methods for SAR-derived Time Series Trend Change Detection – aims to apply Machine Learning techniques to InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) derived surface deformation measurements, with the goal of identifying, among the huge number of measurement points (MP) identified by advanced InSAR algorithms, the ones exhibiting displacement time series …
