Matteo Ciotola received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. (cum laude) degrees in automation engineering and a PhD degree in Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 2018, 2020, and 2024, respectively. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Naples Federico II. In 2020, he held a traineeship with the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD), Montpellier, France, where he conducted research at the Maison de la Télédétection. From 2022 to 2023, he was a visiting scholar at the Université Bretagne Sud, Vannes, France, where he conducted research with the Environment Observation With Complex Imagery (OBELIX) Research Team. He is a member of the GRIP Research Team. His main research interests include data fusion of remotely sensed images, particularly super-resolution and pansharpening, through the use of deep learning algorithms.
Giuseppe Guarino received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (cum laude) in automation engineering from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 2019 and 2022, respectively, where he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree. He is a member of the GRIP Research Team, Naples. He also collaborates with the Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council, Tito, Italy. His main research interests include the development of deep learning algorithms to process hyperspectral satellite images aimed at resolution enhancement through the use of pansharpening and air pollutant estimation.
Giuseppe Scarpa is currently an Associate Professor of telecommunications at the University of Naples Parthenope, Naples, Italy. His research activity concerns image segmentation, texture modelling and classification, object detection, pansharpening, feature extraction, data fusion, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) despeckling, image coregistration, and deep learning, with applications in the remote sensing domain. Prof. Scarpa has served as a Guest Editor for several special issues of the Remote Sensing (MDPI) journal. He has also been a Senior Area Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters.
