About the Seminar
This seminar will cover SAR interferometry and tomography techniques, with emphasis on digital signal processing aspects. Dr. Pascazio will present new methodologies and approaches that improve performance in 3D imaging and monitoring applications across urban and natural environments.
The discussion will cover applications enabled by high-resolution spaceborne SAR missions such as COSMO/SkyMed, TerraSAR-X, and GaoFen-3, including monitoring of urban areas, structures like bridges and dams, volcanos, forests, and cultivated land with high accuracy in displacement velocities and height estimation.
Full Professor of Telecommunications at the Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope”, Vito Pascazio graduated (cum laude) in 1986 at the University of Bari, Italy, in Electronic Engineering, and he received in 1990 the Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science from Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Napoli “Federico II”, Italy. In 1990 he was first at the Research Institute on Electromagnetics and Electronic Devices (IRECE) of the Italian National Council of Research (CNR), Napoli, Italy, and then he joined the Università di Napoli “Parthenope”, Italy, where he is presently Full Professor and Vice-rector for Internationalization. Vito Pascazio was also the Director of the National Laboratory of Multimedia Communication of National Consortium Inter-Universitary of Telecommunication (CNIT) from 2011 to 2016, and Chair and Dean of the Department of Engineering from 2013 to 2019. Vito Pascazio was PI or co-PI of several research Projects funded by Italian and International Institutions, Agencies and Companies. His main research interests are in the field of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Image Processing, SAR Interferometry, SAR Tomography, GB-SAR, Microwave Tomographic Image Reconstruction, Ground Penetrating Radars, Through the Wall Imaging, and Application of Deep Learning Techniques to Radar and Remote Sensing Imaging. He served as General Co-Chair IGARSS 2015 conference in Milan (Italy), and IGARSS 2024 conference in Athens (Greece), and as member in the Technical Committees of several international conferences. He is Fellow of IEEE and Fellow of Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA).
