Abstract

DEFiNiENS is a new innovation oriented German company which developed a powerful image analysis software, eCognition. One of the current research projects within the company is to expand the capabilities of eCognition for SAR information extraction. These developments will help remote sensing on its way from a research oriented to an operational technology with commercial benefit. To support this development, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) co-funds the project ProSmart II and therein the sub-project OSCAR (object oriented segmentation and classification of advanced SAR data). In OSCAR, DEFiNiENS improves the suitability of eCognition for automatic information extraction and validates the results together with ProSmart II partners on exemplary applications
