Our team leader Prof. Zhu and the member Sina Montazeri won the prestigious DLR Wissenschaftspreis (Science prize) 2016, with their innovative research work titled "Geodetic SAR tomography" published in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Every year, DLR selects only a few highly…

SiPEO always welcome enthusiastic researchers all over the world. In 2017, up to 20 fellowships will be awarded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to prospective leaders from non-European transition or developing countries, who are active in any of the following areas: scientific,…

This is the first time that indivdual trees are reconstructed from SAR data. The following video shows the ingenuity of our algorithm where advancded tomographic SAR inversion and robust 3-D modeling have been employed. This research opened a new perspective of using SAR for the monitoring of our…
