Sentinel-2 Based Crop Class Monitoring of Small and Narrow Parcels Based on Modelling Pixel Composition

Prime company: Ulyssys Software Development and Consulting (HU)

Earth observation (EO) and image classification have become essential tools for the enforcement and management of agriculture subsidies in the European Union (EU) under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Crop classification is a fundamental approach to subsidy monitoring to validate the farmer’s claims. Similar to many areas in Europe, in Hungary a significant number of …

EO-BASED OPEN LANDSCAPE TRAFFICABILITY MONITORING FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AND AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS

Prime company: KAPPAZETA LTD (EE)

Trafficability of open terrain remains a key issue in national security applications, both in operational and strategic defence planning context. Whereas in a strategic context, the planning entities may rely on irregularly updated soil maps produced on a national level and lower resolution, in operational (tactical) context, for planning defensive routes or predicting opponent’s offence, …

CARBON-RO: An Earth Observation framework For Carbon Sequestration Monitoring (EO4CSM)

Prime company: STICHTING WAGENINGEN RESEARCH (NL)

The EO4CSM project aims to develop a methodology that can improve the national monitoring of carbon (C) sequestration of agricultural soils for the Netherlands. The methodology is based on a dynamic carbon turnover model, RothC, that will be coupled with Earth Observation (EO) data at parcel level, which provides accurate and up to date information …

EO4Cerealstress – Theme 3: Crop response to multiple stressors

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON (GB)

Despite advances in agricultural production, approximately 800 million people around the globe still face severe food insecurity. Biotic and abiotic agricultural stressors reduce and limit productivity (e.g., yield reduction) and ecosystem services (e.g., loss of carbon sequestration). These devastating impacts are increased by climate change, particularly by frequent and stronger extreme weather events.   EO4Cerealstress …
