ASAP6 - TripleM (2009-2011)
Development of Methods for Retrieval of Hydrology and Agricultural Parameters from Multi-Temporal, Multi-Sensoral and Multi-Resolution Satellite Remote Sensing Data. Financed by the FFG/BMVIT, Austrian Space Applications Programme (ASAP) 6th Call, Contract 819679.
Within this project multi-seasonal, multi-senor and multi-resolution (TripleM) image data sets will be considered with respect to their operational and scientific utilization for agricultural and hydrological applications. Information extraction is envisaged by simultaneous utilization of such a broad variety of satellite image data. This is a rather ambitious intention, implying the development of new and innovative approaches to process and utilize TripleM image data sets. In this context a focus will be put onto present and future European SAR as well as optical missions, like TerraSAR-X, CosmoSkymed, RapidEye or ESA's Sentinel. The project results will cover improved and validated algorithms and processing lines for pre-processing of TripleM image data, for the retrieval of key agricultural and hydrological parameters from such data stacks, as well as validating and testing the applicability of the satellite-derived products.
