Trainer
 Massimo Barbieri
works at sarmap s.a. as an Earth Observation Application Engineer with responsibility for
training courses, SARscape technical support, and EO application projects. His extensive
experience in SAR/Optical EO data processing and analysis is based on an eight-years stay
at ESA/ESRIN within the Earth Watching team, the Project Section and the Training &
Promotion Section. Among his key abilities are SAR interferometry applications related to
DEM generation and to the analysis of ground surface deformations by means of Differential
Interferometry techniques, as well as the development of new methodologies for spaceborne
SAR data utilisation and integration with other data sources, e.g. GIS data, multispectral
and HR optical images. |
 Francesco Holecz
studied Geography and gained a PhD in Remote Sensing at the University of Zürich. He is a
Remote Sensing Specialist and a founding owner and the managing director of sarmap s.a.
His expertise is based on seventeen years of experience in remote sensing and image
processing in the filed of active microwave data (Synthetic Aperture Radar and Wind
SCatterometer) and multi-spectral data. He has gained SAR domain experiences with airborne
and spaceborne systems in absolute calibration (geometric, radiometric, polarimetric),
speckle reduction, texture analysis, information extraction (qualitative and
quantitative), polarimetry, interferometry, and data fusion SAR and multi-spectral. He has
manged projects in the global monitoring for agricultural purposes, and with airborne and
spaceborne systems in geometric and radiometric correction, as well as information
extraction. |
 Paolo Pasquali
studied electrical engineering and gained a Ph.D. in remote sensing at the Politecnico di
Milano in the domain of SAR processing and interferometry. He is a Remote Sensing
Specialist and founding owner and Technical Director of sarmap s.a. Summary of experience
His expertise is based on twelve years of work in the field of remote sensing SAR
(Synthetic Aperture Radar) and biomedical (tomographic and radiographic) image processing.
In the remote sensing field, he has gained experience with different spaceborne and
airborne sensors. He developed software for focussing, interferometry, generation of
Digital Elevation Models, geocoding, radiometric calibration, 3D reconstruction,
polarimetry and extraction of thematic information. In the biomedical image field, he
gained experience in the integration of images acquired with different tomographic
techniques, and in 3D reconstruction. |

Directions to sarmapby car:
From the Swiss National Freeway take Exit, "Lugano Nord". Follow signs to Ponte
Tresa along west bank of the Lake of Lugano. At Ponte Tresa, before crossing the Swiss
border and River Tresa, turn right onto Strada Cantonale, direction "Luino".
Drive 2 kilometers until the Agip gas station and the Pagoda Bar (on the left) and
"Diva Service" (on the right), turn right up the hill, direction
"Barico". Take the first right onto Cascine Barico; sarmap occupies the first
building on the right, first floor. Drive down driveway and park.
by train:
SBB to Lugano Main Train Station. Cross the street and go down the steps to the
Lugano-Ponte Tresa small rail line. From the machine purchase 1-way ticket to Ponte Tresa.
Disembark in Ponte Tresa, the last station. Call sarmap Shuttle Service: +41 (0)91 600
9365.
by air:
Lugano airport: upon landing and clearance through customs, exit the airport building to
easily hail a taxi at the taxi stand.
Malpensa airport: to reach sarmap from the Malpensa airport one has to travel by bus to
the Lugano main train station, and then take the small Ponte Tresa train as described
above under "train" above. The bus travelling to Lugano can be found outside the
airport building at the bus depot stop. Schedules of this bus service may be found at
