• Investigation of Sea Ice Using Multiple Synthetic Aperture Radar Acquisitions 

      Yitayew, Temesgen Gebrie (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-02-23)
      The thesis investigates imaging in the vertical direction of different types of ice in the arctic using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography and SAR interferometry. In the first part, the magnitude and the positions of the dominant scattering contributions within snow covered fjord and lake ice layers are effectively identified by using a very high resolution ground-based tomographic SAR system. ...
    • Multi-sensor data fusion and feature extraction for forest applications 

      Yitayew, Temesgen Gebrie (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2012-05-15)
      The purpose of this study was to extract, evaluate and select different multi-frequency polarimetric SAR and multi-spectral optical features to demonstrate the benefit of multi-sensor data fusion for forest applications. Multi-frequency fully Polarimetric SAR data at P-, L- and C-band and multi-spectral Landsat TM data acquired over the Nezer forest in France were used for demonstration. The scene ...
    • Sea ice segmentation using Tandem-X pursuit mono static and alternative bistatic modes 

      Yitayew, Temesgen Gebrie; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Eltoft, Torbjørn; Dierking, Wolfgang Fritz Otto; Brekke, Camilla; Rösel, Anja (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-04)
      In this paper we investigate interferometric pairs of SAR images acquired by Tandem-X with the monostatic pursuit and the alternative bistatic modes for sea ice segmentation. The individual SAR images are modelled as non-Gaussian, and from the modelled data different features are extracted, stacked together and clustered. The interferometric coherence is regarded as an additional feature and utilized ...
