Webinar 13 - Parcel-based crop monitoring from space

The ever-increasing spatial resolution offered by the newest generation of satellite sensors allows us to monitor agricultural production at the scale of individual parcels. This webinar will provide insights into the possibilities, limitations and remaining challenges related to high-resolution crop monitoring. Together we will explore which information can be derived from these satellite observations, including parcel extent, crop type, phenology, biomass production and crop stress. Different analysis approaches will be discussed and compared in terms of costs and benefits. Aside from the conceptual overview of methods and products, the webinar will also provide some practical guidelines on field data collection and how to access and process high resolution satellite data using the Python programming language.
The webinar will be executed under the framework of the EO AFRICA R&D Facility by VITO Remote Sensing
