During the last twenty years, in the framework of projects founded by national and international space agencies (ASI, ESA,
NASA) as well as by the European Community, the following scientific competences have been acquired:
- Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SAR) data processing; - Development of a multi-temporal SAR interferometric processing chain (SPINUA © – Stable Points Identification in Non Urbanized
Areas) for ground instability monitoring (subsidence, landslides, earthquakes); - Analysis of optical data acquired by satellite platforms aimed
at the inference of biophysical parameters such as water quality and chlorophyll; - Meteorological and climate data processing; high resolution forecast services using numerical meteorological models;
- Development of signal and image processing algorithms using
both interpreted and compiled programming languages (MATLAB, SCILAB, IDL, C, C++) as well as Assembly; - Development of algorithms on parallel
architectures and computational grids.
Starting from this scientific background, GAP intends to provide products and services
characterised by high level of innovation and scientific / technological contents in the field of remote sensing and related hardware and
software technologies:
- Production, marketing and customer service;
- Feasibility studies, designing, developing and prototyping of innovative
procedures for digital signal processing (DSP) dedicated in particular of satellite remote sensed data; - Training activities dedicated to the product
users; - Activities of research and development aimed at updating the scientific knowledge in the specific fields of interest.
GAP contributes also to the organization of the Master in Space Technologies for Remote Sensing,
organized by University of Bari and promoted by University of Bari, Politecnico di Bari, Italian Space Agency and eGEOS.
Here below the list of the publications of the researchers affiliated with the Remote Sensing Group of the Department of Physics of Bari and/or GAP srl.
