Welcome from the Conference Chairman

Welcome to the 6th EUSAR conference inDresden! This year we are commemoratingthe 10th anniversary of EUSAR. Since thefirst conference in Königswinter in 1996,EUSAR has evolved to become a well-esta-blished international conference dedicatedto SAR techniques, technology and applica-tions. It has accompanied the worldwideevolution of high resolution imaging radar,both airborne and spaceborne, and has hel-ped to establish an international community

of SAR engineers and scientists. As in previous years, EUSARwill provide a forum for exchanging information and discussionon a wide variety of SAR topics, representing the latest SARdevelopments. EUSAR 2006 will certainly be a unique conferen-ce for all colleagues involved in the field of synthetic apertureradar.

We are entering a very dynamic and challenging time for SARdevelopment with the recent start of ALOS/PALSAR and a num-ber of spaceborne systems to be launched soon: TerraSAR-X,SAR-Lupe, RADARSAT-2, COSMO Skymed, TECSAR and seve-ral others. SAR systems are today an indispensable data sourcefor high resolution 2D and 3D mapping, environmental and disa-ster monitoring as well as security related applications.Information extraction has achieved a mature and operationallevel in a number of different fields, making the contributions ofSAR systems to present and future programs like GMES andGEOSS a very essential one.

In order to provide an outstanding technical level for the presen-tations at the conference, we have invited about 85 experts inthe SAR field to participate in the Technical Program Committee.We will have 49 sessions in 3 days of conference, including 22invited sessions, full-day tutorials on topical themes on 15th May2006, an industrial exhibition showing the latest technologicaland technical developments in this field as well as the Awardspresentation during the closing session at the last day of theconference. A special event program will be organized followingthe tradition of the previous EUSAR conferences. This year wewill also have a four-hand piano concert by Dr. Richard Klemmtogether with a special guest from Brazil.

The conference site is the International Congress Center, one ofthe most modern and most beautiful congress centers in Europe.It is situated directly on the banks of the river Elbe in the heart ofthe historical city amongst all the popular sights and points ofinterest. Take your time to visit the city of Dresden, which is cele-brating its 800th jubilee year in 2006.

I am looking forward to meeting you in Dresden during EUSAR2006 and to sharing a most pleasant, interesting and fruitful con-ference.

Alberto Moreira General Chairman EUSAR 2006

Message from the Program Chairman

On behalf of the program board I would liketo welcome you to the EUSAR 2006 con-ference.

Due to the overwhelming response to ourcall for papers, we are certain that EUSAR2006 will prove to be an outstanding suc-cess and a representative forum for scienti-fic research in SAR related topics. We recei-ved 465 abstracts from 34 countries all over

the world. These abstracts were reviewed by the program com-mittee consisting of more than 84 respected international scien-tists. 250 papers were selected for oral presentation and 182papers for interactive poster presentation making this the lar-gest EUSAR conference yet with five parallel sessions. To ourgreat satisfaction, all important fields of SAR techniques, tech-nology and exploitation are covered by the contributions.

EUSAR 2006 starts with a plenary session with keynote spee-ches by prominent personalities. During the three conferencedays, the oral sessions will be held in five halls in parallel. Wetried to arrange the parallel sessions in such a way that theoverlap of the topics is minimised. Special attention has beengiven to the poster session presentations, which are planned forthe Wednesday evening in conjunction with a reception. Also, acommercial exhibition will hosted during the conference sho-wing the latest industrial developments in SAR systems andapplications. Following our tradition, a piano recital will be heldon the first evening followed by a visit to a local hostelry.

All papers will be included in the EUSAR conference procee-dings and on compact disk.

I would like to express my thanks to all the contributors andspeakers and in particular to the members of the program boardfor their competent evaluation of the large number of submis-sions.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Dresden.
