On October 26th, 2023, Yuta Otsuka(D2, Electrical Engineering) received the Best presenter Award at APSAR 2023.

Name of award and short explanation about the award
Best presenter Award

This award is presented as a recognition of the best presenter in the
8th Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR 2023).

About awarded research
Y. Otsuka, R. Natsuaki and A. Hirose, "Interferometric Phase Restoration
Using Biquaternion Neural Networks in PolInSAR," Asia-Pacific Conference
on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR) 2023 Bali, TU4.R2.5.

In this work, we proposed a method to filter images obtained by
interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) using biquaternion
neural networks (BQNNs) in order to generate highly accurate digital
elevation models (DEMs). Our proposed method enables the utilization of
local scattering information in filtering InSAR data, which leads to
more accurate DEM generation than conventional methods.
