Dares Technology

DARES is a company located in Spain (Barcelona, Castelldefels) providing ground deformation measurements with radar satellites (InSAR technology) to multinational clients in mining oil&gas and infrastructure worldwide. The mission of DARES is to detect and monitor ground surface anomalies (e.g. subsidence, ground heave, active slopes, rock falls, land cover and land cover changes, water bodies) based on radar satellites. Furthermore DARES develops innovative and high value added projects in the fields of the electromagnetic signal and image data processing, mainly in the field of radar signal and interferometry and derived products/services. For that reason, DARES is formed by very high skilled profiles, and has established  strategic alliances with universities and research institutes to carry out new and innovative developments (TSC/UPC, IGME and CSIC in Spain, CNR in Italy and DLR in Germany). The purpose of these partnerships and collaborations is both to cooperate in commercial and R&D projects as well as to establish programs of students and researchers exchange and technology transfer for introducing new technology into markets

LIST

Serving the national and European economy and society, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) located in the very heart of Luxembourg's new Research and Innovation Campus at the former industrial site of Esch-Belval. From here, any major European city can be reached in less than 2,5 hours. Given the quality of its infrastructure, its esthetic appeal and its cultural heritage, the Campus brings together strong potential for innovation uniting university, research centres, joint laboratories, start-ups and incubators. At the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), they develop innovative and competitive solutions in response to the key needs of Luxembourg and European companies. Their institute is constantly developing. It is a necessity due to technological and social change, industrial evolution, and an ever-changing list of challenges and opportunities. LIST is a member of the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (EARTO). As such, they establish a link between research and society as a whole. Their approach is to ensure that transfers take place between these two spheres. LIST's mission is to strengthen the economy through industrial innovation in Luxembourg, and to deliver projects benefitting society and quality of life in general.More than 75% of the employees are researchers and innovation experts. They are organised in three research departments which represent the backbone of the activity as a RTO.

The headquater of the Institute is located in Warsaw, Mokotów, 27 Modzelewskiego St. The Geodetic-Geophysical Observatory Borowa Góra located in Jadwisin upon the Zegrzyński Reservoir belongs to the Institute. The mission of the Institute is to carry out research and applided works in the field of surveying and mapping and related disciplines for science, geodetic and cartographic practice for the needs of state and local governments, national security, as well as for surveying and cartographic enterprises. An important part of the Institute’s activity is also conducting research and applided works in the field of basic geodetic measurements, as well as the applicaton of aerial and satellite remote sensing in agriculture, environmental protection, regional planning and public statistics. The Institute cooperates with many national, foreign and international institutions and organizations in carrying out research and development activities. The Institute supports the process of implementation of the infrastructure for spatial information through the realization of research and development in this field. These works are conducted in accordance with the INSPIRE Directive and national regulations related to the area of digitalization of the state.

The University of Alicante (UA) is a public university with an excellent campus. The UA is a young university able to adapt to the social changes and needs of our society. It is a comprehensive university covering all fields of knowledge with programmes in arts, sciences, social sciences and law, architecture and engineering, and health sciences, organised into 7 faculties, 50 departments and 15 research institutes. The Signals, Systems and Telecommunications research group (SST) is part of the Physics, System Engineering and Signal Theory Department (DFISTS) and the Computing Research Institute (IUII) of the University of Alicante (UA). It was created in 2000 and currently is formed by 5 staff members plus a number of PhD and MSc students. The main research field in the group is radar remote sensing, with special emphasis in SAR polarimetry, SAR interferometry and polarimetric SAR interferometry. EO techniques developed at the SST group comprise theoretical and analytical formulations of radar observables, full-wave electromagnetic modelling of vegetated scenes, inversion approaches (both numerical and analytical), etc. as well as final adaptations to end-user requirements and data type availability. The most successful applications of their research in remote sensing are agriculture monitoring and geological hazards observation. Among the agriculture monitoring applications, the group has devised phenology tracking techniques for different crop types based on dual-pol TerraSAR-X images and full-pol Radarsat-2 images. They have also initiated the study and exploitation of time series of radar data acquired over the growth cycles of different crop types in order to provide indicators for different requirements of the end-users, such as detection of delays due to irrigation problems, harvest date predictions, etc.

The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)-BarcelonaTech is a public institution dedicated to higher education and research, specialised in the fields of engineering, architecture and science. The Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSLab) belongs to the Signal Theory and Communications Department (TSC) of the UPC. At present, it consists of about 12 permanent staff members, about 10 Ph.D. students, and 20 final project students. The main research lines are microwave systems, antennas and radar cross-section, optical atmospheric communications, laser radar (LIDAR) atmospheric applications, and active and passive remote sensing. Active remote sensing is the activity in which this project is framed to. Since 1991, the experience of the group in the fields of radar and microwave imaging has been applied to the development of microwave remote sensors and new techniques of data analysis, processing and exploitation, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), Spanish companies and other national and international institutions. Since 1996, one of the main research topics of the group is the development of new SAR sensors. It is noteworthy that the group has developed a fully polarimetric Ground-Based SAR sensor, a Bi-static SAR sensor and a compacted version of the GB-SAR sensor embedded in an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform.
