DSM Processing with Space Borne SAR Interferometry (InSAR) for Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol

Capacity development in biomass monitoring is a key action in the implementation of the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol in developing countries like Indonesia. The objection of this research is to explore the processing of spaceborne InSAR for the construction of the Digital Surface Model (DSM). The research successfully completed the process by using two InSAR pairs: ERS-1 & ERS-2 tandem pass (completed) and ENVISAT repeat pass (coherence only). DSM product, after field validation, will be applied for SAR calibration in relation to biomass and carbon stock estimation.

Simulasi Pemanfaatan Data Losat Untuk Pemetaan Padi

Simulation onthe Use of LOSAT Data for Rice Field Mapping. Since the launch of LAPAN-TUBSAT satellite in 2007, Indonesia has been developing mission on earth observation missions for various applications. The next generation mission, called LAPAN-ORARI Satellite (LOSAT), is currently under development and expected to be launched in 2011. In order to facilitate the applications, a thorough assessment of the sensor should be made. This paper presents an examination of simulated LOSAT data for rice monitoring and mapping purposes coupled with QUEST statistical tree. We found that three-band simulated LOSAT data were suitable for the task with reasonably high accuracy
