Multi-Dimensional Imaging with Synthetic Aperture Radar

Gianfranco Fornaro received the M.S. degree (summa cum laude) in electronic engineering from the University of Naples "Federico II in 1992 and the Ph.D. in 1997. Since 1993, he has been with IREA-CNR, where he now holds the position of Research Director, working in the area of airborne and spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processing, including SAR Interferometry and SAR Tomography. In 2013, he received the "Full Professor habilitation in Telecommunication, and in this area, he has been Adjunct Professor at several Universities in South Italy. Dr. Fornaro has been a visiting scientist at Politecnico of Milan and DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen (Germany), also during the 1996 SIR-C/X-SAR mission. He was a NATO lecturer in the Lecture Series SET 191 and SET 235, and since 2011, he has been also a lecturer at the International Summer School on Radar/SAR of the Fraunhofer Institute. He has been a convener, tutorial lecturer, chairman, and member of the program and organizing committee at the most important IEEE conferences. He has authored more than two hundred papers on SAR (peer-review journals and proceedings of international conferences). He received the Mountbatten Premium from the IEE Society in 1997, the 2011 IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters Best Paper award, and the 2011 best Reviewers mention of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing journal.Antonio Pauciullo received the Dr. Eng. with honors in 1998 and the Ph.D. in information engineering in 2003, both from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy. Since 2001, he has been with the Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment (IREA) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), where he holds a position of Senior Researcher. From 2004 to 2012 he was an Adjunct Professor of digital signal processing at the University of Cassino (Italy). His current research interests are in the field of statistical signal processing with emphasis on synthetic aperture radar processing.Vito Pascazio graduated (cum laude) in 1986 at the University of Bari, Italy, in Electronic Engineering, and received in 1990 Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science from the 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. Vito Pascazio was also the Chair of the Department of Engineering at the Università di Napoli Parthenope and Director of the National Laboratory of Multimedia Communication of National Consortium Inter-Universitary of Telecommunication (CNIT). His main research interests are in the field of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Image Processing, including SAR Interferometry, SAR Tomography, SAR Along-Track Interferometry, and Ground Based SAR; Microwave Tomographic Image Reconstruction, including Ground Penetrating Radars, Through the Wall Imaging, and De-mining radars, Body Scanning, and Microwave Biomedical Imaging; Biomedical Image processing, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Image Processing, including Image Compression, Speckle Filtering, Classification, Segmentation, Wavelets-based Image Processing, and Compressive Sensing; Linear and Nonlinear Statistical Signal Processing, including Markov Random Field Bayesian Image Processing. He served as a member in the Technical Committees of several international conferences. He was Co-Chair General of the IGARSS 2015 conference in Milan and holds the same role in the next IGARSS 2024 in Athens. Vito Pascazio published about 250 technical papers, and he is Senior Member of IEEE.
