EFIDIR Spring School : Extraction and Fusion of Information for Displacement measurement from SAR Imagery

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

EFIDIR Spring School : Extraction and Fusion of Information for
Displacement measurement from SAR Imagery
May 1-6, 2011
Ecole de Physique des Houches, Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France
Program and registration : http://www.efidir.fr

This international spring school is aimed at young researchers in the domains of information processing (signal, image, data mining...) and geosciences using SAR images. The one week school will concentrate on tools and methods of SAR data analysis and applications in monitoring geophysical phenomena at the origin of observed displacements (earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers...).

The programme stretches from electromagnetic backscattering to physical model inversion, including practical work and observation on the site Chamonix Mont-Blanc. The
school will allow PhD students, young scientists and experts to share their knowledge of recent advances linked to the new generation of radar satellites, and processing methods allowing effective exploitation of the resulting data.

Main lectures and speakers:

   * Eric Pottier (IETR) :
     /Ground electromagnetic response: from physical properties to SAR
     and //polarimetric SAR data/
   * Jean-Claude Souyris (CNES) :
     /InSAR D-InSAR processing: from raw data to displacement measures/
   * Andy Hooper (Delft University) :
     /Multitemporal D-InSAR: from SAR time series to displacement
     monitoring/
   * Didier Dubois (IRIT) :
     /Knowledge and information processing/
   * Bernard Valette (ISTerre) and Maelle Nodet (LJK) :
     /Inversion and data assimilation in geophysical models/

Οrganizing Committee

The meeting is organized by the EFIDIR project (ANR Masse de données  et connaissances 2008-2011), which gathers 6 laboratories: LISTIC  (Annecy), GIPSA-lab (Grenoble), LTCI (Télécom ParisTech) and IETR  (Rennes) which are also part of the GdR ISIS (Information, Signal, Image and viSion), and ISTerre (Chambéry-Grenoble) and the
 Laboratoire de Géologie (ENS Paris) which are part of the GdR G2 (Geodesy and Geophysics).
