Posted on Jul 26, 2012 | 0 comments

In this project the goal is to retrieve reliable information about the sea level change from 2004 to 2008 using ENVISAT data. Furthermore the main concepts for a software development and implementation shall be simulated. For this purpose a program has to be developed that is capable of converting the ENVISAT raw data into a matlab readable format, applying all necessary corrections given by the data itself and interpolate the data to retrieve an assumption for the past sea level change from 2004 to 2008.

Earth observation satellites have emerged as the preeminent tool for consistent and high-resolution imagery. The eyeON mission is designed to provide rapid on-demand sub three meter resolution imagery as well as generate a database of regions of interest. In the following document, the eyeON team proposes a multi-use satellite observation system capable of servicing many constituents in different areas of study.
