IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - IGARSS Barcelona 2007<br />
Greetings from GRSS president<br />
Greetings from the President of the IEEE Geoscience And Remote<br />
Sensing Society<br />
I invite you all to attend IGARSS 2007 which will be held in<br />
Barcelona, Spain from July 22 to July 27. The theme of IGARSS’07<br />
is “Understanding and Sensing Our Planet”. Understanding and<br />
sensing are two closely related topics. We need to understand the<br />
basics of earth processes such as climate, ecology and hydrology<br />
etc to identify geophysical parameters to be measured in remote<br />
sensing. Determination of the spatial distribution and temporal<br />
evolution of the geophysical parameters will enhance the<br />
understanding of earth processes and utilization of natural<br />
resources.<br />
Thus understanding and sensing our planet need to engage both remote sensing scientists<br />
and engineers that work on technological advances and earth science researchers who<br />
investigate the earth science processes. It is the goal of IGARSS’07 to provide a forum for<br />
reporting such advances.<br />
Professors Ignasi Corbella and Adriano Camps, together with the IGARSS ‘07 Organizing and<br />
Technical Committees, have done a superior job in the preparation of this Symposium. They<br />
have put together a <strong>com</strong>prehensive program that covers the forefront of remote sensing<br />
technology and applications. In recent years, IGARSS attendance has reached almost 1500<br />
and we expect similar large attendance again this year. At the Technical Program Committee<br />
meeting in February 2007, the Technical Committee worked hard to make careful selection of<br />
the papers and organized them into 11 parallel oral sessions and many interactive sessions.<br />
Both oral papers and poster papers are of the highest quality. Poster papers will be displayed<br />
the whole day on Monday through Thursday. To facilitate interaction with poster paper<br />
authors, all presenters will be requested to be at their posters at designated times during the<br />
interactive sessions. We anticipate enlightening and fruitful discussions at the poster<br />
sessions. I encourage you also to attend the IEEE GEOSS workshop or one of several tutorials<br />
on Sunday July 22. At the plenary session on Monday, you will hear Dr. Lewis Terman, the<br />
IEEE President Elect, speaking on the topic of “ the IEEE vision of making societal impact,<br />
outreach and earth observations and remote sensing”. You will also hear Dr. José Achache,<br />
GEO Secretariat Director and Dr. Jay Pearlman, Chair of ICEO, talking about GEOSS and the<br />
IEEE impact in GEO, particularly in standards, system engineering, remote sensing, and<br />
education.<br />
The IEEE-GRSS Society is well known for its transnational <strong>com</strong>position. At IGARSS, you will<br />
be able to meet scientists from all over the world and learn about the state of the art of<br />
remote sensing science and technology in many countries.<br />
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is the second largest city in Spain. It has 2000 years of<br />
history with a rich cultural heritage. The conference venue is at an attractive location near<br />
the sea front. Pablo Picasso spent his youth at Barcelona and you can have a chance to visit<br />
the Picasso Museum.<br />
I look forward to seeing you at IGARSS’07. I am confident that you will enjoy the best of<br />
technical exchanges.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Leung Tsang<br />
President, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society<br />

Wel<strong>com</strong>e to IGARSS<br />
Wel<strong>com</strong>e to IGARSS 07 Barcelona.<br />
Wel<strong>com</strong>e to the IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing<br />
Symposium IGARSS 2007!. Wel<strong>com</strong>e to Barcelona, the second<br />
largest city of Spain and the economical, historical and<br />
administrative capital of Catalonia, a small country of six million<br />
inhabitants, more than a thousand years of history and a culture<br />
and language of its own. In Barcelona you will experience the flavor<br />
of the Mediterranean and enjoy a unique cultural and artistic<br />
ambience, including Modernism, Architecture and South-European<br />
culture and cuisine.<br />
The local organizing <strong>com</strong>mittee has been working very hard to set<br />
up a high quality technical program as well as a number of interesting social activities. The<br />
technical program <strong>com</strong>mittee selected more than 2000 papers this year. They will be<br />
presented through the week in eleven parallel oral sessions scheduled both in the morning<br />
and in the afternoon, as well as interactive sessions almost every day. This configures a very<br />
dense program and surely it will be a very intense week for you. Nevertheless we hope that<br />
you will take also the opportunity to relax and to participate in the social activities that we<br />
have prepared for you. In particular, we hope to see you in the Ice Breaker reception, the<br />
Exhibition Opening reception and the Awards banquet. Also, a different tour of Barcelona and<br />
its surroundings has been scheduled each day of the conference. I hope you will be able to<br />
enjoy those that do not interfere with the technical sessions of your interest.<br />
The selected conference venue, “Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona” (CCIB)<br />
is located near the sea front. In just a few minutes, if you want, you will be able to be just<br />
walking by the beach, or even swimming in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. If<br />
you are lodged in the host hotel you can simply walk to your hotel after the sessions and<br />
enjoy all the <strong>com</strong>fort and services provided in it. If your hotel is elsewhere in the city, you<br />
will experience the quality of the transportation in Barcelona and in a couple of minutes after<br />
the sessions you will be admiring the streets and nice buildings of the city. The schedule of<br />
the conference this year starts at 9h in the morning, so as to allow for enough time to arrive<br />
<strong>com</strong>fortably from any part of the city.<br />
The theme of this year symposium -“Sensing and Understanding our Planet”- suggests what<br />
remote sensing scientific activity should ultimately achieve: Information gathered by all<br />
sensors and techniques must be wisely used mainly to understand our Earth. This will<br />
improve prediction of natural disasters or global climate change and provide tools to prevent<br />
their consequences. As experts on the leading-edge technologies of Earth observation, we<br />
should play a prominent role in achieving these goals. This is our contribution to the<br />
important task of assuring people of all around the world access to resources for their<br />
subsistence without endangering the fragile equilibrium of our planet.<br />
I invite you to enjoy Barcelona. This week will be for you, simply unforgettable!!<br />

Technical Program Overview<br />
Technical Program Overview<br />
Organizing the Technical<br />
Program of IGARSS 2007 has<br />
been an exciting opportunity to<br />
better understand the wide<br />
variety of fields that Remote<br />
Sensing embraces. This year<br />
submission has been very high,<br />
reaching about 2400 abstracts<br />
received. In an attempt to<br />
ensure a high quality program,<br />
each abstract was assessed by at least two reviewers. We would like to thank the 560 reviewers for<br />
their generous support, the invited session organizers, and the theme coordinators/session organizers<br />
and for their help in setting up the program and to act as backup reviewers in the few cases needed.<br />
A dedicated Technical Program Committee processed and organized the nearly 2000 accepted<br />
presentations that <strong>com</strong>pose the Program in a meeting kindly organized by Prof. Werner Wiesbeck in<br />
Karlsruhe, Germany, on February 23 rd .<br />
The Program presentations are arranged into 99 oral sessions and 62 interactive sessions, covering<br />
nearly all aspects of Remote Sensing: from the physics of the measurements to the most advanced<br />
data processing techniques, through the electromagnetic modeling and the technologies and<br />
techniques that allow to develop and build new and more powerful instruments. In addition to the<br />
general topics, this year we have tried to promote some such as lidar and radar altimetry in order to<br />
improve the IGARSS coverage of techniques and applications. We have also tried to emphasize<br />
present-day space missions (TerraSAR-X, Cosmo-Skymed, SMOS, etc. ), emerging techniques (GNSS-<br />
R, sensor web, advanced sensor concepts, etc.), and other topics of special interest such as remote<br />
sensing activities in Africa, educational activities and disaster prevention and monitoring. Finally the<br />
Program also includes two sessions dedicated to Prof. Tanos Mikhaël Elfouhaily (Tuesday afternoon)<br />
and Prof. Mikio Takagi (Thursday afternoon) for their significant contributions to our field.<br />
In an attempt to give more importance to the Interactive Sessions, posters will be posted during the<br />
one day, from 9 AM until 7:30 PM, after the oral sessions, and presenting authors are asked to stay by<br />
their posters at least after the afternoon sessions from 6 PM to 7:30 PM. The poster area has been<br />
closely located to the rooms to facilitate the interaction. We expect that poster sessions will play a<br />
central and sustained role in the technical discussions and participants interaction.<br />
Chairs of oral sessions are encouraged to keep the schedule despite any no-show that may happen to<br />
allow people to move from one session to another one. Attendees to a session where there is a noshow<br />
are kindly invited to make a backup or an extended presentation. Please keep in mind that the<br />
chairs of both the oral and interactive sessions have been requested to keep track of the<br />
<strong>com</strong>munications that are actually presented to include them in IEEE Xplore.<br />
The program also includes eight tutorials given by experts in their fields and the IEEE GEOSS<br />
workshop. The program that you have in your hands has meant a lot of work for many people. In<br />
addition to the Technical Program Committee chairs and members, the invited session organizers, and<br />
the abstract reviewers, we would like to mention the incredible amount of work and patience put by<br />
the CIMNE staff (see picture on next page). We want to express our public recognition to these hidden<br />
faces for their <strong>com</strong>mitment and hard work.<br />
We wish you enjoy a high quality technical program and the warmth of the Mediterranean life style of<br />
the city of Barcelona. In addition to that, a number of social activities have been prepared so that your<br />
IGARSS 07 memories will be unforgettable. Enjoy!<br />

IEEE GRSS Membership<br />
Why should you join us?<br />
� Explore membership opportunities in the world’s premier professional organization dedicated to<br />
the advancement of the theory, concepts, and techniques of science and engineering applied to<br />
remote sensing of the Earth, oceans, atmosphere, and space.<br />
� Keep abreast of the latest developments in your area of expertise and receive on-line access to<br />
all issues of the Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing and the Geoscience and<br />
Remote Sensing Letters as well as quarterly print and on-line editions of the GRSS Newsletter.<br />
� Gain access to the latest on-line technical information using IEEE Xplore©, and network with<br />
colleagues at the annual IGARSS conference and other specialty symposia.<br />
� The IEEE GRSS Society is the fastest growing society in IEEE. The Society strives to make an<br />
impact on remote sensing policy and research directions. By being a member, you can make a<br />
bigger impact on these issues.<br />
Membership Options<br />
Membership is open to professionals and students with varying levels of academic ac<strong>com</strong>plishment and<br />
work experience. Member and Senior Member grades recognize those who have achieved professional<br />
proficiency, as demonstrated by degrees received and/or work experience. IEEE Fellow grade is<br />
reserved for those Senior Members with unusual distinction in the profession and is conferred only by<br />
invitation of the IEEE Board of Directors.<br />
Full Membership is available to those professionals that have demonstrated <strong>com</strong>petence in an IEEE<br />
field.<br />
A Student Member must carry at least 50% of a normal, full-time academic program as a registered<br />
undergraduate or graduate student in a regular course of study in IEEE designated fields. Student<br />
Member fees are extremely low, and benefits are equal to those of Member grade.<br />
For direct admission or transfer to Senior Member grade, a candidate must have ten years of<br />
professional practice. (Educational experience is credited toward the requirement, according to a<br />
sliding scale.) Senior Members receive a handsome plaque, a $25 certificate toward one new Society<br />
membership, eligibility for Fellow Grade nomination, and other benefits.<br />
Affiliate Membership is available to those professionals who seek to affiliate themselves with GRSS<br />
but do not seek IEEE membership. Affiliates of GRSS enjoy full benefits of the Society, including<br />
monthly, on-line access to the Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, as well as the<br />
quarterly Newsletter and reduced conference fees.<br />
Membership Fees<br />
GRSS Memberships include electronic access to the Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing<br />
Letters. If you would like to receive printed copies of the transactions and/or Letters, you must<br />
indicate that on your application form and pay the additional fee(s) of $45 and/or $24, respectively.<br />
These options are available only for Full Year memberships. The table below is a summary of IEEE<br />
and Society Dues.<br />
� For regular, student and senior GRSS membership, you must pay to be<strong>com</strong>e an IEEE member<br />
and select GRSS as an additional society membership.<br />
� To calculate total dues, you may elect to add the optional printed Transaction or Letters fee to<br />
appropriate IEEE member fee. (Affiliates select appropriate GRSS Affiliate fee only…no IEEE<br />
Member fees will be assessed.)<br />
� Applications received between 16 August and 28 February will be processed as Full Year<br />
memberships. Services begin immediately.<br />
� Applications received between 1 March and 15 August will be processed as Half Year<br />
memberships expiring 31 December of that calendar year.<br />

Dalí Museum (Figueres) & Girona City Thursday 26th (Full Day)<br />
No matter what you know already, this provocative surrealist painter and<br />
writer from Empordà (Catalonia) (1904-1989) will surprise you. Dalí's<br />
early years were dominated by Impressionism at drawing school but he<br />
soon joined avant-garde movements together with Luis Buñuel and<br />
Federico García Lorca to finally embrace Surrealism where he developed<br />
his own naturalistic style, both modern and polemic.<br />
Girona is a jewel of culture and<br />
history acquired over 2000 years of<br />
existence. Many cultures have left<br />
their imprint on the streets of the<br />
city-Iberians, Greeks, Romans,<br />
Arabs, Jews, Christians… they have<br />
created unforgettable places such as the medieval<br />
quarter, the Arab baths, the best preserved medieval<br />
Jewish quarter in Europe, the houses on the Onyar<br />
river, the Cathedral, Saint Felix church and the walk<br />
around the city walls.<br />
Itinerary: Motorway (140 Km) to Figueres > Visit Dalí<br />
Museum > Visit Girona: Cathedral, Arab Baths, Força<br />
Street, Old Jewish Quarter, Sant Fèlix and Sant Pere de Galligans Churches > Return to<br />

Montserrat, the Holy Mountain & Sitges Friday<br />
27th (Full Day)<br />
22<br />
A well rounded excursion: mountain and<br />
beach in the same day.<br />
Montserrat is a mountain,<br />
a unique Natural<br />
Park, a massive rock over 4000 feet high,<br />
visible for miles, with weird shapes and<br />
rounded peaks that jut into the sky; there<br />
are walks, paths, stairs, with caves and<br />
hermitages scattered over the mountain,<br />
and mysterious rocks and wonderful views.<br />
Sitges<br />
is situated 20 miles away from south<br />
of Barcelona, Sitges' beautiful beaches and<br />
peaceful mountains proved irresistible to the<br />
Catalan wealthy who made it a fashionable<br />
resort at the turn of the 19th-20th century.<br />
At the same time, Modernista artist Santiago Rusinyol discovered its charms and attracted a<br />
colony of Modernista artists and intellectuals to his house there, now the Museum Cau Ferrat.<br />
Sitges has wisely preserved its Modernista past in the streets and buildings of the old<br />
quarter, and the charm of this lively seaside town remains intact.

Tu03AF. Special Session Celebrating the Contributions to<br />
Remote Sensing Science of Tanos Mikhaël Elfouhaily<br />
Co-Chairs: Donald R Thompson , Joel T. Johnson<br />
Tanos "Tony" Elfouhaily, our friend and colleague, passed away on<br />
the evening of July 26, 2006 at Doctors' Hospital in Miami Florida.<br />
Tony was interested in a broad range of scientific topics and<br />
published widely in numerous journals. His many contributions to the<br />
field of ocean remote sensing during his brief career range from<br />
theoretical aspects of microwave scattering physics and surface wave<br />
hydrodynamics to the description of nonlinear statistical processes.<br />
Tony's contributions have already had a profound influence on the<br />
field.<br />
Born in Kléa, Lebanon, on Oct. 20, 1968, Tony earned his<br />
Baccalauréat C from the Sacré-Coeur school (Lebanon) in physics and<br />
general sciences. He continued his education studying ocean remote<br />
sensing at IFREMER, Centre de Brest, and earned his PhD at the<br />
University of Paris VII. From 1997-2000, Tony was a NASA postdoctoral<br />
fellow and later a staff scientist in the Space Department at<br />
the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. In 2000, he<br />
moved to CNRS in Marseille where he remained until 2004 when he<br />
joined the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at<br />
the University of Miami as an associate professor.<br />
A sudden death like Tony's reminds us of the fragility of human life<br />
and makes us reflect more deeply on how precious each life is. When<br />
we lose such a special human being as Tony, we must honour his life<br />
and shining example by attempting to live our own lives more fully<br />
and generously. Because he gave so much of his mind to science and<br />
so much of his attention to his family and friends, Tony's life is an<br />
excellent example of what can be ac<strong>com</strong>plished in a short span of<br />
time if one focuses on one's work with an eagerness to understand<br />
and a willingness to share and explore with others. It is clear that just<br />
as Tony's numerous scientific contributions will be influential for many<br />
years to <strong>com</strong>e, his love for his family, his sincerity, good nature and<br />
permanent smile will guide not only the lives of his young daughters<br />
Lucie and Beatrice into adulthood, but will also the serve as a<br />
standard for all who knew him.<br />
We'll miss you Tony!<br />
D. Thompson.<br />

Th12AH2. Special Session: A Tribute to Professor Mikio Takagi<br />
Co-Chairs: Kiyo Tomiyasu , Motoyuki Sato<br />
Professor Mikio Takagi passed away on February 6, 2006. He was an<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plished engineer and professor in digital image processing and<br />
remote sensing technology. He will be remembered for his lifetime<br />
research, development and dissemination of digital image processing<br />
and achievements that span almost the entire spectrum of remote<br />
sensing.<br />
He was General Chairman of the 1993 GRSS International<br />
Symposium held in Tokyo, the first IGARSS held in the Far East. His<br />
interest in that IGARSS started 10 years earlier, in 1983 when he<br />
attended the IGARSS held in San Francisco. His dedicated interest<br />
and pursuit was matched with his interest and <strong>com</strong>mensurate service<br />
on the GRSS Administrative Committee.<br />
Dr. Takagi was born on May 16, 1936 in Tokyo. He received his BS,<br />
MS and PhD from the University of Tokyo. He joined the University of<br />
Tokyo as Associate Professor and promoted to Professor in 1979. He<br />
spent 1971-72 as a visiting research scientist at the University of<br />
California in Santa Barbara.<br />
As Professor he taught numerous students, many receiving their PhD.<br />
He served the technical profession in numerous ways and received<br />
numerous recognitions. The Japanese Emperor awarded him The<br />
Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon.<br />
