11 Don t forget the temporal component

12 The Gambia case study

13 Objective A valuable and unexploited data source is provided by spaceborne SAR archive data. In this work, it will be demonstrated that the integration of multiyear and multi-sensor data allows the generation of a consistent national baseline Land Cover Map.

14 Multi-year, multi-sensor approach multi-year ALOS PALSAR-1 multi-year ENVISAT ASAR grouping of the data: dry season wet season whole season grouping of the data: dry season wet season whole season computation of temporal features for: dry season wet season whole season computation of temporal features for: dry season wet season whole season knowledge based classification data Land Cover Map processing products

15 Intensity processing 1. Strip mosaicing of single frames in slant range geometry (if zero-doppler) and multi-looking 2. Grouping of the strip mosaics acquired with the same geometry 3. DEM based orbital correction of one reference image for each group, when necessary 4. Co-registration 5. De Grandi time series speckle filtering 6. Terrain geocoding and radiometric calibration 7. Radiometric normalisation 8. Anisotropic Non-Linear Diffusion filtering

16 Multi-year, multi-sensor mosaic at 1 hectare ALOS PALSAR-1 ScanSAR HH dry season ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath HH dry season ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath HH wet and dry season

17 Agricultural extent at 1 hectare

18 Multi-year, multi-sensor mosaic at 15 meter ALOS PALSAR-1 mean HV dry season ENVISAT ASAR mean HH dry season ENVISAT ASAR HH difference wet and dry season

19 Land cover map at 15 meter Agricultural area Mangrove - Sandbanks Water Bare soil-weak vegetation (low biomass) Medium vegetation (medium biomass) Strong vegetation (high biomass)

20 Land cover map at 3 meter (based on seasonal CSK) Rice Crop 1 Crop 2 Water Forest

21 Vegetation Productivity Index (250m) high CNR-IREA / sarmap The VPI has been derived from Aqua and Terra MODIS 250m It is relative to Mid September (approximately peak of season) of each year low

22 The Malawi case study

23 Objective The objective is to demonstrate, at country-level, the multi-purpose use of ALOS PALSAR-1 data, particularly of multi-year ALOS PALSAR-1 Intensity data and their synergetic use with other spaceborne SAR data. Following products are targeted: Forest map Cultivated area map Digital Elevation Model

24 Coherence or Intensity? Not suitable for thematic purposes PALSAR- 1 HH coherence PALSAR- 1 HV coherence during dry season during dry season perpendicular baseline 280m Mul1- year PALSAR- 1 HH- HV intensity during dry season

25 Intensity or coherence? Disadvantages: reduced spatial resolution coherence at 44 days during the wet season is unpredictable Mul1- year PALSAR- 1 HH- HV during dry season PALSAR- 1 HH coh & int during wet season PALSAR- 1 HH coherence during wet season

26 Forest area Mul9- year PALSAR- 1 HH- HV during dry season

27 Cultivated area Mul1- year PALSAR- 1 HH- HV during dry season ASAR HH PALSAR HV ASAR HH ASAR data acquired during wet season

30 Publication, K&C Phase 3 report

31 On technical challenges and R&D requirements Mul9- temporal systema9c acquisi9ons are oien not enough. The use of the exis9ng archive data, even if not op9mal for the targeted applica9on, provides a valuable data source, enabling the genera9on of consistent countrywide land cover maps. Automa9on is, to some extent, feasible as long as a mul9- temporal synerge9c approach is used. No general solu9on but biome AND product (end user requirements!) specific solu9ons are possible.

32 On-going and future actions The processing of large mul9- temporal mul9- sensor data implies: Suppor9ng the processing of all spaceborne SAR sensors and acquisi9on modes; Processing solu9ons on local cluster AND cloud compu9ng. Moving from CPU to GPU. The products are con9nuously developed in coopera9on with end users. Know- how transfer is on- going (as example refer to RIICE). A similar ini9a9ve is on- going with FSC (TransparentForests).

The studies began when the Tiros satellites (1960) provided man s first synoptic view of the Earth s weather systems. Remote sensing of the Earth from orbital altitudes was recognized in the mid-1960 s as a potential technique for obtaining information important for the effective use and conservation of natural resources.
