Sentinel data use for urban mapping and monitoring
This two day hands-on training course is organized by RUS
Copernicus as a part of EARsel 5th Joint Workshop “Urban RemoteSensing – Challenges & Solutions” taking place in Bochum, Germany (
The main goal of this training session is to create
theoretical and practical competences on the use of Sentinel data for urban
mapping and monitoring. We will be looking at topics such as urban extent,
urban sprawl based on multi-temporal and multi-sensor analysis and urban land subsidence
using SAR Interferometry (InSAR).

Preliminary Programme
The course includes lectures on the theory of satellite image
processing and classification as well as hands-on exercises.

Afternoon:
Practical exercises on the topics presented during the theory
session using Copernicus Sentinel data and the RUS Virtual Machines.
Hands-on exercises on mapping urban extent using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data – comparison of different approaches.
DAY 2 (Thursday, 27 September 2018)
Practical exercises on the topics presented during the theory session using Copernicus Sentinel data and the RUS Virtual Machines.
