Microwave Remote Sensing: Data Processing and Applications II (RS106)

Conference Chairs: Fabio Bovenga, CNR IREA (Italy); Claudia Notarnicola, EURAC Research (Italy); Nazzareno Pierdicca, Univ. degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza (Italy); Emanuele Santi, Istituto di Fisica Applicata Nello Carrara (Italy)

The main objective of the conference is to present an updated view of the state-of-the-art in active and passive microwave remote sensing techniques and to provide a playground for scientists coming from different microwave sectors and final application domains. In this context, the conference will offer a platform to exchange ideas and foster applications, which may take advantage from the use of microwave sensors (SAR, scatterometers, radiometers, altimeters, GNSS-R) alone, as well as their joint exploitation and combination with other sensors (optical, multispectral) to take advantage from complementarity of the different techniques

Particular attention will be given to applications and algorithms, including model based and machine learning algorithms, for exploiting data from currently operating sensors, such as Sentinel 1, Sentinel 3, ALOS2, TerraSAR-X, COSMO-SkyMed, RADARSAT-2, SAOCOM, AMSR-E/AMSR2, SSMI / SSMIS, SMOS, Metop ASCAT, and SMAP and incoming missions such as Metop SG SCA, HydroGNSS, CyGNSS, Nisar, ROSE-L, COSMO SG, ALOS3, AMSR3 and CIMR. Airborne and ground based experiments will be also considered and applications based on time series analysis will be addressed as well. In fact, the incoming growing capabilities of the most recent sensors, in terms of temporal revisit time and electromagnetic spectrum sampling (in active and passive mode), offer a potential tool for new environmental applications especially related to the monitoring of natural disasters (such as earthquake, flood, drought, landslides, avalanches), environmental issues, and to the food and energy challenges, which can particularly benefit from multi-temporal image analysis.

GAP Ltd will contribute by showing the results of his research activity in collaboration with CNR-IREA (Bari) and the Dept. of Physics of Bari:
