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.
Our urban Earth Observation research is part of CAIDAS
Hannes Taubenboeck is also linked to the CAIDAS, which is the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg which aims to develop AI methods, new research topics and the transfer into applications. This is...
