The Norwegian Mapping Authority were implementing the action together with NOSA, with subcontractor NORCE and Ferdinand Klingenberg presented results as shown. The questions addressed were:

  • How small buildings and building extensions can be detected?
  • How often is it possible to deliver the target result?

The overall aim was to discover the potential for achieving this with Sentinel-1 data and develop a methodology. The code is openly available and you can find it by clicking here.
