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.
EORC collaborations: Nature and Conservation with Remote Sensing
Our Earth Observation Research Centre (EORC) at the University of Würzburg is involved in many collaborations applying remote sensing to environmental monitoring, conservation, and ecosystem research. Our work spans mountain ranges, forests, savannahs, and protected...
