Abstract :
Three DLR institutes, forming the cluster “Sensorik fuer Fernerkundung and Navigation”, and two italian CNR institutes, I.R.E.C.E. and I.I.V., agreed on carrying out a joint airborne multisensor campaign in the Mt. Etna area in summer 1996. The site is of high geological interest. The deployment of an experimental SAR (E-SAR), a multispectral optical scanner (DAIS) and a wide angle stereo camera (WAAC) resulted in a number of unique data sets, which allow the analysis of the synergy between optical and microwave sensors with regard to the application
