Abstract: |
Keywords: Operational approaches and research topics; Sub-pixel approaches; SAR images; Crop area forecasting; Ground survey; area estimation; Earth Observation; agricultural policy; Abstract: The management of agricultural policy and food security require timely and possibly objective agricultural statistics. In well organized countries crop area estimates are generally available a few months after harvest; having reliable figures before harvest is a major challenge. Satellite images with a high and moderate spatial resolution are expected to have a strong development in the next years: Rapid Eye, Sentinel, LDCM (Landsat Data Continuity Mission) and others will be added to the currently available sensors. An increase can be expected in the number of applications of the new sensors to agricultural monitoring and in particular to crop area estimation. |
