The fourth edition of the MDIS-Form@ter workshop dedicated to the measurement of deformation using space imagery took place in Besse en Chandesse from October 16 to October 20, 2017.
70 researchers and students, from France and abroad attended the workshop, together with representatives of ESA, CNRS, NASA and the DLR. All shared an interest for radar interferometry, optical and radar image correlation, as well as ways to extract information for applications ranging from the seismic cycle, the volcanic cycle, deformation related to anthropic activities, the cryosphere, landslides, etc.
The workshop also concerns GNSS, stereophotogrammetry and lidar specialists, researchers with backgrounds in image and signal processing, and those with expertises on big data. The purpose is to share fundamental ad practical expertises on these problematics as well as new developments. The workshop also intends to coordinate discussions and actions with our scientific partners and funding institutions.
Communications tok place through oral presentations, posters and round tables around four themes: (1) Recent and future Satellites, (2) Extraction of the physical signal, (3) Geophysical interpretation, (4) Intensive processing / Big data.
