Sendai: Flood mapping in Ecuador based on Sentinel-1 data
Flood events cause enormous damages and losses which are only poorly documented in many areas of the world. Because of this, the Sendai framework for disaster risk reduction aims to establish a set of standardized indicators to represent the impact of natural disasters on a yearly basis. The VALE project (Development and VALidation of earth […]

Deutschland 2019 – Landbedeckung auf Basis von Sentinel-2 Daten
Im Rahmen des Projekts Inwertsetzung von Copernicus-Daten für die Raumbeobachtung (incora, BMVI mFund Förderkennzeichen: 19F2079C) wurde ein automatisches Verfahren entwickelt, um jährliche Landbedeckungsklassifikationen für ganz Deutschland zu erstellen. Die Klassifikationen verfügen über eine räumliche Auflösung von 10m x 10m (Pixelgröße) und bilden die Klassen Bebaute Fläche, Grasland, Wald, Landwirtschaft, Vegetationsloser Boden und Wasser ab. Als […]
