Various frequencies (e.g. visible light, infrared, microwaves) from remote sensing sensors can be used for active fire mapping, forest fire detection and fire emission assessment. However, little is known about the applicability of X-band SAR data for burned area detection. This paper presents a detailed SAR backscatter coefficient analysis and accuracy assessment with respect to CORINE 2006 land cover data. For this purpose five forest fires have been analyzed. Dry as well as wet acquisition conditions have been taken into account. The analysis demonstrated that largest differences in backscatter coefficients between pre- and post-fire conditions were linked to tall and dense vegetation types. Contrarily, scant vegetation was marked by lowest signal differences. High correlation coefficients have been obtained from regression analysis between vegetation indices and SAR backscatter changes. Moreover, a burned area classification algorithm with different thresholds for each vegetation type has been applied. The classification result illustrated that areas abundantly covered with vegetation showed classification accuracies of ~91 %, whereas sparse vegetation achieved ~5 % accuracies.

The ATISS measurement drone, developed at the University of Applied Sciences Wildau, is an electrical powered autonomous motor glider with a maximum take-off weight of 25 kg including a payload capacity of up to 10 kg. Two engines enable ultra short take-off procedures and the motor glider design results in a 1 h endurance. The concept of ATISS is based on the idea to strictly separate between aircraft and payload functions, which makes it a very flexible research platform for miscellaneous applications. In a project together with German Aerospace Center (DLR) this carrier was used for demonstrating a novel approach in high-resolution digital terrain modelling. A lightweight, 3D-capable photogrammetric camera called MACS-TumbleCam was developed at the DLR Berlin especially for the ATISS payload concept. The unique feature of this camera system isthe special combination of two synchronized digital cameras with an adjustable relative alignment. One camera head is oriented in a fixed nadir position while the other one can be driven to variable oblique orientations by a robotic actuator. Thus it is possible to take images from very different view directions for almost every object on the ground. Due to a parametric boresight calibration a lowcost inertial orientation system can be used. The evaluation of the first test flights shows features of the system, i.e. derived high-precision 3Dmodels of urban structures with 3 cm ground pixel resolution and high-resolution facade textures.

digital elevation model (DEM) (abDul-raHMaN & PilouK 2008). In other words, DEM continuously displays elevation changes of the Earth surface, which is directly proportional to the plane position (x,y) (abDul-raHMaN & PilouK 2008, cHaPlot et al. 2006, MillEr & laflaMME 1958). Initially, 3D models were created physically from plastic, sand, clay, etc. (li et al. 2004). Today, however, computers are used to display the Earth’s continuous surfaces in a digital form (HEESoM & MaHDJobi 2001). One of the most important issues in the field of digital modelling is the generation of a DEM with high quality and precision under minimum costs. To estimate a continuous surface, due to the limited number of samples and the necessity of reproducing altitude points,
