Aim
The excursion to the Earth Observation Center of the German Aerospace Center in Munich aims to outline the diversity of current remote sensing activities and the potential for internships and M.Sc. topics.
Content
During the excursion to the DLR-EOC various thematic topics will be presented and discussed with the attendees such as land cover mapping, vegetation and soil content analysis, disaster mapping or urban sprawl. Moreover, various visits of the “crisis information center”, the ISS control station or the Galileo control station are providing a wide overview of space borne activities with a specific focus on the potential of earth observation activities.
General Course News and Updates
Object based sequential masking classification using SAR and optical data
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...
Radiometric calibration, speckle reduction, geometric and terrain correction are essential preprocessing steps for SAR data. Within an innovation laboratory you will explore the different calibration and data preparation techniques for ground detected and single look...
Surface model creation from multi-source remote sensing data
Nowadays there are plenty of 3D data sources which offer the possibility to model and monitor structural attributes of the landscape via the derivation of terrain, surface and canopy models. The core idea of this research project within an innovation laboratory is to...
