SkyMed/COSMO mission overview

Rapid response flood detection using the MSG geostationary satellite

“…MSG's 9 km 2 resolution, whilst able to map smaller flooding events than AMSR-E, is still of insufficient quality to map small local scale flooding. However, as has been shown in other studies (Hervé et al, 2007), combining the MSG data with those from other sources, such as MODIS data at 500 m resolution (Brakenridge and Anderson, 2006) or data from the COSMO-SkyMed series of satellites (Caltagirone et al, 2002), could avoid this issue and enable the high temporal resolution of MSG to be fused with the high spatial resolution of other sensors. Additionally, by a detailed investigation of known flooded areas, more accurate knowledge of the BRDF parameters associated with flooded land can be gained -allowing adjustment of the threshold values and increasing the accuracy of flood detection.…”

Design of a Full Polarimetric Scatterometer for X-Band

“…이에 따라 전파 산란 및 원격 탐 사 분야의 연구가들에게 보다 효과적이며, 정확한 측정이 이루어질 수 있는 자동화된 scatterometer 시 스템이 필요하게 되었으며, 최근 연구가 활발히 진 행되고 있는 X-밴드(f0=9.65 GHz, BW=500 MHz) 대 역에 대한 관심 또한 크게 높아져 이에 맞는 측정 시 스템의 개발과 운영이 필요하게 되었다 [5], [6] . 많은 분 야에서 다양한 형태의 scatterometer를 이용하고 있으 나 [3], [7] , 본 논문에서는 지상 운용을 목적으로 원격 제어가 가능한 안테나 지지대, 네트워크 분석기(Agilent 8753D), 그리고 OMT+horn 안테나 [8] 등으로 …”

Urban remote sensing using multiple data sets: Past, present, and future

“…information fusion is viewed as an information fission inversion process [1]. While different aspects for different angles may represent a problem in a one-shot acquisition, it can be a significant asset for multi-temporal operation of low earth orbit satellite constellations, like the COSMO/SkyMed one [53]. While the use of multiple views of the same scenario has been considered an advantage in computer vision from a long time, it is now beginning to be considered as such in remote sensing approaches also.…”
