This event will take place online. Fringe 2021 is a free workshop, focused on “Advances in the Science and Applications of SAR Interferometry and Sentinel-1 InSAR” open to scientists, students and Sentinel-1 data users, as well as representatives from national, European and international space agencies and value adding industries. Its main objectives are: …
ESA’s upcoming Biomass mission will deliver valuable P-band SAR data aimed at forest aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation across the humid tropics. Additionally, the current NASA GEDI mission on the International Space Station (LiDAR), the NASA NISAR and JAXA ALOS-4 (L-band SAR) will widen our possibilities to estimate AGB from space. However, all these missions rely on …
SEN3GCP is conceived as a service that will provide GCPs (Ground Control Points) and precise co-registration of EO products as an automated service accessible via the web and API. The service will be based on a global database of GCPs that is derived from SAR imagery (3D coordinates including height information) and for which corresponding …
One of the biggest entry level hurdles for integrating SAR data into modern earth observation analysis chains, is still the complexity of the data itself. Opposed to optical or multi-spectral data, which relates much more directly to the way human vision works and is hence more natural to interpret, SAR registers signals that are not …
Satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a powerful Earth Observation tool for the analysis of subaerial volcanic deformation – a parameter that is critical both for monitoring hazardous volcanic systems and for understanding magma storage in the shallow crust. The long duration and consistent acquisition strategy of ESA’s Sentinel-1 mission as part of the …
The MAFIS project will develop and demonstrate at pre-operational level a service aimed at providing consistent and statistically reliable information on forests, by combining multi-spectral satellite data and SAR data, to monitor natural and planted forests growth and forest losses due to human activities or to natural phenomena. The project will develop a specific methodology …
The objective of tge SAR4Wildfire project is to develop a novel and automatic method, using Sentinel-1 SAR time series and a deep learning framework, for near real-time wildfire progression monitoring and burn severity mapping in preselected wildfire sites in Sweden and British Columbia, Canada. Whenever available, Sentinel-2 MSI data will be incorporated in the framework …
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 …
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.
