Multi-thematic exploitation of TerraSAR-X images in the context of the Kalideos reference datasets
Exploitation multi-thématique des images TerraSAR-X dans le contexte de la base de données Kalideos
Résumé
This paper presents the use of TerraSAR-X images in the context of the Kalideos programme, which aims at providing the user community with time series of multi-spectral (optical and radar) and multi-resolution remote sensing imagery. 120 TerraSAR-X acquisitions are scheduled for three distinct thematics: volcano monitoring (Reunion island site), sugarcane crop monitoring (Reunion island site) and forest monitoring (Arcachon/Landes forest site). We describe here the advancement of these studies, focusing on sugarcane crop monitoring which is the most advanced one. These studies will serve as typical examples of multi-thematic use of TerraSAR-X imagery and demonstrate the relevance of TerraSAR-X imagery for the development of scientific reference datasets.
Ce papier présente les résultats de l'utilisation d'images radar TerraSAR-X dans le contexte du programme Kalideos, pour trois applications thématiques : surveillance des volcans (Ile de la Réunion), culture de la canne à sucre (Ile de la Réunion), et suivi de la forêt (Arcachon/forêt des Landes).
