The Advanced Earth Surface Observation Project (AESOP): New Developments for Optical Imagery Sébastien Leprince, Francois Ayoub, Jiao Lin, Jean-Philippe Avouac, Dave Redding, and Essam Heggy November 12, 2012

New Technology Developments: Extraction of 3D ground motion using multi-angle imagery, Topography extraction using multi-angle imagery, 3D tracking of smooth surface from point clouds (LiDAR) - see B. Conejo’s poster, Time-series of sand flux on Mars - see F. Ayoub’s poster, Integration of processing tools with parallel implementation, Feasibility study of a geostationary optical seismometer. Development at JPL with Dave Redding team, Sounding the water table and fossil aquifers in Kuwait using airborne Ground Penetrating Radar - see E. Heggy’s poster.
