Abstract:
A 2 year, #750k (#415k from Innovate UK) collaborative R&D investment by Ecometrica, Environment Systems and Rothamsted Research aims to develop wall-to-wall applications of Sentinel Earth Observation (EO) derived information products for environmental compliance and productivity monitoring in agriculture. Innovation is being developed with regard to the processing methods, calibration / validation processes and demonstration applications that can be scaled-up to run across large areas on a continual basis, delivering actionable content to be used by national agencies and businesses. The project will make use of a new Earth Observation data management facility (EO Lab) being established at Agrimetrics and will be an early demonstrator project of how big spatial data management systems can support the growth of agricultural information services in UK and export markets.
