Change Detection and Characterization 3 (CCD with Sentinel-1 SLC IW data)

Challenge Description

The goal of this challenge is to test the use of coherence products generated from Sentinel-1 data. Derived products will allow the identification and evolution of burned areas: with the support of the products generated from the other two challenges (fire front detection and burned areas identification with optical indexes/backscatter signals), the three challenges will offer a more comprehensive view of wildfires trend and evolution. The promoter of this challenge is the European Union Satellite Centre.
