Dear all,
today I’d like to point to the Rocker project, which provides a suite of Docker images for particular tasks. Even though the Rocker initiative already exists since 2014 and I read about it once in a while, there were not many use cases for me to try it
Dear all,
I have to apologize for the long hiatus. I am busy finishing my PhD thesis, and some time-demanding projects at work.
However, as promised, I have managed to continue the StaMPS-workflow documentation. I think that StaMPS is quite demanding for inexperienced people (mostly students starting to work with PSI) who
Dear all,
we’re back for round two of PSI processing with StaMPS:
A GeoJSON file (Simple Feature Access standard) describing the region of interest is needed. The easiest way to create a ROI polygon is by converting an existing Layer into a bounding box in QGIS (Vector / Research
Dear all,
after some time off we’re back – with some art:
On 3 December, Orbital Reflector (ORS-1) was launched aboard a Falcon-9 rocket, and will continue to orbit Earth for about two months. Orbital reflector is a temporary satellite which does neither serve any scientific nor technical purpose. Rather, the installation
Hi all,
I’d like to point out a study conducted by colleagues from the Austrian Institute of Technology, the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna and the University of Salzburg. In this study, we have analysed indicators for the sustainable development of cities that have the greatest potential for
Dear readers,
as you might have noticed, we’ve been on a short hiatus. I have been busy finishing my PhD, and I eventually defended my thesis at the end of October.
While I haven’t been actively writing for the blog, I have collected several interesting topics I’d like to feature here –
Dear all,
I’d like to draw your attention to the GEO Data Technology Workshop which will take place from 23-25 April 2019 in Vienna, Austria. The workshop will focus on exploring how to best make available Earth observations-based knowledge for international policy frameworks, including the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Dear all,
I am currently involved in several projects that rely on Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI), a radar-based technique that belongs to the group of differential interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).
Specifically, I am using StaMPS/MTI to analyse Sentinel-1 SLC data. StaMPS/MTI written in Matlab and C++. Currently, this seems to
Hi all,
I am currently attending the EO4Alps conference in Innsbruck, Austria. The objectives of this interesting workshop are:
My favourite supervised classification method for land cover classification until now was the very popular Random Forest. Recently however, I stumbled upon the xgBoost algorithm which made me very curious because of its huge success on the machine learning competition platform Kaggle where it has won several competitions. Since I
