- Crop classification based on synergistic use of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images
Toolboxes development for:
- Automatic downloading and pre-processing of satellite images
- Automatic crop classification
- Aggregation routine of crop classification maps for verification of crop diversification
Development of a methodology for comprehensive verification of Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) for the requirements of direct support and greening systems

Project is realised in the consortium composed by: IGIK (responsible for the development of methods for crop growth monitoring, yield prediction, detection of critic situations for crop), Kappazeta – development of an approach for monitoring of maintenance of permanent grasslands; and CBK PAN.
