OPTIONAL HANDS-ON TRAINING
09:00 SESIÓN PARALELA I / PARALLEL SESSION I
  Training Session: Radar DLR / CONABIO, Thomas Esch, Achim Roth / Alejandra Cervera
 

Content:
The training session "Radar" provides a hands-on introduction to the basic characteristics of SAR data and SAR image analysis. The session starts with a brief summary of radar theory including the fundamentals of SAR (frequency, polarization, viewing geometry, geometric and radiometric resolution) and the specific properties of radar images (distortions, target interaction). The theory part is supplemented with a set of practical examples allowing the participants to get hands-on experience. The session also provides a practical insight into SAR image analysis with a specific focus on speckle suppression techniques and object-oriented image classification.

09:00 SESIÓN PARALELA II / PARALLEL SESSION II
     
  Training Session: Optical Data CONABIO, Gerardo López / René Colditz / Sergio Cerdeira
 

Content:
The hands-on training with optical data will specifically focus on MODIS data processing and time series generation. MODIS processing will comprise Level 0 to Level 1B production, derivation of corrected surface reflectances, and value-added land product generation such as NDVI and EVI. Additionally, ocean (SST, Chl, OC3) and atmosphere ( cloud profiles, cloud mask) product generation will be addressed. The second part aims at time series generation using the quality information provided with each MODIS land product. Demonstrations and several hands-on exercises will be an integral part of this training.
