International School on SAR Polarimetry: From Theory to Applications (2024)
–
Funded by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The proposed 'International School on SAR Polarimetry: From Theory to Applications' in Scotland aims to introduce remote sensing concepts and algorithms related to PolSAR to address this challenge. Unfortunately, there is a notable absence of dedicated schools specifically focused on SAR polarimetry theory and its applications. This initiative provides a comprehensive overview of physics and statistics to young postgraduates and Ph.D. students. The school seeks to foster meaningful interactions between participants and resource persons, laying the groundwork for potential collaborations. Furthermore, it aims to acquaint participants with the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) activities, integrating them into the growing GRSS community. We plan to organize this school annually, rotating it through different locations across the globe, with local and regional experts from diverse fields of application using PolSAR data. This approach ensures a dynamic and inclusive platform for continuous learning and collaboration in the field of PolSAR.
The 'International School on SAR Polarimetry: From Theory to Applications' is dedicated to engaging students and young professionals, providing them with vital knowledge to harness data from current and upcoming PolSAR missions for scientific research and societal applications. To ensure a focused and interactive learning environment, a committee will be formed to follow stringent selection criteria to limit participation to a maximum of 30 individuals. This approach ensures a high-quality experience for participants, facilitating effective learning, networking, and collaboration within the PolSAR community.
