Advanced remote sensing information system program at ETH Zurich and DLR/DFD Oberpfaffenhofen
This article presents a frame of research for information retrieval from remote sensing (RS) images, based on a new concept developed at the German Aerospace Center, DLR Oberpfaffenhofen in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. The newly developed technology emphasises the user access to the intrinsic information in RS images and on information instead of data dissemination. Thus the users are enabled to enhance the robustness of their decisions and to extend the range of applications.
