To perform the classification task, we create a comprehensive dataset by combining altimetry footprints and the ESA World- cover2020 dataset. To model the classification, we employ multiple 1D-CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) architectures originally developed for other applications and adapt them to the peculiarities of altimetry waveforms. To evaluate the performance of our approach, we employ the F1-score metric, which provides a balanced measure of precision and recall. Our experimental results demonstrate a notable F1-score of 0.86, indicating the effectiveness of our proposed method in accurately classifying land cover types from altimetry data.}, note = {}, institution = {Universität der Bundeswehr München, Fakultät für Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik, LRT 9 - Institut für Raumfahrttechnik und Weltraumnutzung, Professur: Schmitt, Michael}, }
