The European Space Agency organised its third International Workshop on Envisat ASAR interferometry and its fifth International Workshop on ERS SAR Interferometry: Advances in SAR Interferometry from Envisat and ERS missions, which was held at ESA ESRIN in Frascati, Italy from the 26-30 November 2007.

The workshop was open to ESA Principal Investigators and co-investigators, scientists and students working in the field of  Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry and its applications.

Themes

The main themes of Fringe 2007 were:  

• Methodology and Techniques
  • General
  • ScanSAR Interferometry and Applications
  • Polarimetric Interferometry
  • PSI (Persistent Scatterer Interferometry)

• Interferometry and new SAR missions
  • ALOS-PALSAR, TerraSAR-X, RADARSAT-2, COSMO-Skymed
  • Future missions

• Airborne campaigns

• Applications
  • Earthquakes and tectonics
  • Ice and snow
  • Terrain subsidence and landslides
  • Volcanoes
  • Thematic mapping and DEMs

Objectives

The main objectives of the workshop were to:

• Provide a forum for scientific exchange and to initiate and encourage close collaboration between individual research groups,
• Present new results from the latest studies in the field and asses the state of the art.,
• Provide a forum for ESA Principal Investigators to present results and status of AO and Cat-1 projects,
• Present the first interferometric results from Third Party Missions like ALOS-PALSAR, TerraSAR-X and RADARSAT-2,
• Discuss the use of InSAR data for scientific research and applications development,
• Assess the available data ordering and analysis tools,
• Formulate recommendations for algorithm development, new products, future missions and applications,
• Review and assess the maturity and operational readiness of InSAR applications,
• Report on progress/status of recommendations of FRINGE 2005.
