You have to explain 3 definitions, one image and one method per student by drawing cards. The examples below were all asked during the oral exam:
Definitions (per 3):
- Azimuth and range direction
- ESA
- GOES-17
- BTD
- Photogrammetry
- Sentinel-1
- Nadir
- SAR
- Sentinel3-SLSTR
- Interferrometric phase unwrapping
- SfM
- Sentinel-2
Explain image:
- Image of DEM and dense point cloud of volcano
- Image of atmospheric disturbance
- Image of digital image correlation (+can you see vertical displacement? No)
- Image of earth radiation budget
- Image of Notre dame and lines (image matching)
Explain method:
- Hotspot detection (Wien's law and NTI)
- SfM and MVS (+ difference tie point and point in sparse point cloud)
- Volcanic ash detection
- SAR inferrometry
