The following internship and innovation laboratory projects were presented today: Karsten Wiertz did his internship at the Białowieza national park on "Spatio-temporal analysis of tree mortality and gaps in the Białowieza Forest using high resolution imagery". Jakob Schwalb-Willmann did his internship at the Max-Planck-Institute in Radolfzell on "moveVis GUI: Development of a browser-based web application for animating ...
Analyzing species-environment interaction is feasible using various data and method. An increasing technology is the tracking of animals and especially its linkage to remote sensing, as covered in AniMove.org. However, with this technology new challenges have to be dealt with, e.g. the decrease in accuracy of tracking devices in dense vegetation. In this innovation laboratory ...
This study will examine whether the application of hybrid classifiers increases the classification accuracy in comparison to a single classifier. A combination between parametric and non-parametric classifiers will be applied and their performance will be assessed. The student is expected to gain a deep knowledge of applied Machine Learning algorithms within this innovation laboratory.
The data provided by aerial imagery are amongst the oldest sources of spatially explicit information for modern-time environmental management. These data are often captured over landscape-level domains using overlapping flight stripes to enable stereo photogrammetric analysis based on parallax and obtaining information on vertical forest structure. As compared to the state-of-the-art LiDAR data, the stereo ...
Actual evapotranspiration (ETact) is an essential component of the water balance and its determination for large areas is difficult on regional scale and can be explored within an innovation laboratory. The use of remote sensing data to determine ETact is particularly suitable to provide area based indicators for the evaluation of the efficiency and productivity ...
Remote sensing based crop mapping is still challenging when just relying on optical information as the only data source. Due to the unavailability of adequate optical satellite images the integration of SAR is promising and can be explored within an innovation laboratory. The combination of SAR (TERRA-SAR-X and Sentinel-1) and optical images (RapidEye and Sentinel-2) ...
