A team of Joint Research Centre (JRC) scientists win a Data Fusion Contest 2011, organised by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which challenged scientists to use the same set of high resolution spatial imagery to show their technical advances.

The team from the Joint Research Centre (JRC) win a Data Fusion Contest 2011 with a novel method for measuring the height of objects using satellite images, without the need of satellite positioning.

The competition, organised by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a non-profit professional association dedicated to technological innovation in the electrical engineering, computer science and electronics, was focused on multi-angular acquisitions over the same target area. Given the wide choice of possible applications, participants were free to choose the research topic.
