Change Detection within the Processing of the TanDEM-X Change DEM

Over the last years the TanDEM-X mission acquired data for a second global digital elevation model (DEM) the TanDEM-X Change DEM. This new DEM is temporally independent of the former global TanDEM-X DEM and therefore yields the possibility of change detection. In order to decrease the phase noise level the interferometric processing for the Change DEM has been upgraded. This also allows a more accurate change detection. Currently, the processing of the global data is performed operationally. It includes the detection of terrain changes and first examples of detected terrain changes can be presented

Shaping the Global High-Resolution TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Model

The global digital elevation model (DEM) produced by the TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X add-on for digital elevation measurements) mission is an interferometric elevation model with unprecedented quality, accuracy, and coverage. It represents an unedited surface model as artifacts inherent to the interferometric synthetic aperture radar acquisition and processing technique are still present. The most prominent artifacts in the DEM are water bodies appearing with a rough surface due to low coherence. Additionally, outliers, voids, and larger data gaps may be present in this dataset. Therefore,DEM editing is crucial for many applicationsincluding hydrology or orthorectification of remote sensing data. Depending on the field of application, different techniques of quality enhancement are required. This article provides a comprehensive description of a semi-automatic framework specially developed for generating an edited version of the TanDEM-X dataset by shaping the high-resolution 12 m DEM with focus on water areas, outlier handling, and void filling. The default configuration parameters of the workflow can thereby be adapted interactively for challenging areas where appropriate. A quality assessment of the resulting edited DEM was done by statistical measures, visual methods, as well as by an artifact evaluation

‘Men are grown mechanical in head and in heart’: Mythologizing the Industrial Revolution

This thesis will explore the evolution of the narrative of the Industrial Revolution, from the association of the Prometheus myth with ideas of science and revolution in the late eighteenth century to the development of a myth of the Industrial Revolution during the nineteenth century. It will address works by Goethe, Mary Shelley, Thomas Carlyle, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels with an aim to explore how they participated in using and creating myths to understand the social and economic changes affected by industrialisation in Britain. Chapter One will establish current problems within the historiography of the Industrial Revolution in order to introduce the concept of ‘mythistory’, before discussing Promethean narratives during the late eighteenth century, and the etymology of the term ‘Industrial Revolution’. Chapter Two will discuss Goethe’s Faust, and the ways in which Promethean ideas, as well as Goethe’s own worldview, transformed the old legend into a useful narrative with which to consider industrialisation. Chapter Three will explore the ways in which Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein undermined and questioned her contemporaries’ assumptions about the heroism of scientific endeavours. Together, these two chapters will establish the myths Marx and Carlyle used to engage directly with the Industrial Revolution. Chapter Four will discuss the works of Thomas Carlyle, specifically his early essays and Past and Present. It will underscore Carlyle’s admiration for Goethe, and his ‘great man’ approach to history, before analysing his own mythmaking. Chapter Five will follow on by studying the mythmaking of Marx and Engels, particularly in their early works, ‘The Communist Manifesto’, and Capital, Vol. 1. Discussion will concern how these authors contrast ideologically with Carlyle while nevertheless sharing a mythic diagnosis of present industry. Finally, the conclusion will discuss how these myths have since been processed, particularly by Humphrey Jennings in his composite text on the Industrial Revolution, Pandaemonium: The Coming of the Machine as Seen by Contemporary Observers, 1660-1886, as well as pointing out avenues for future research
