Tasks of JECAM Ukraine

  • Crop area estimation using satellite dataTo utilize a regression estimator to combine in-situ area frame sampling (AFS) surveys and crop maps derived from Earth remote sensing data.
  • Crop classification using multi-polarization SAR data. To use satellite SAR data to better discriminate between crops with similar spectral-temporal behavior but different physical structure. To perform an analysis and find optimal combinations of polarizations and SAR modes to increase classification accuracy of agriculture crops.
  • Adaptation of crop growth models. To use a time-series of in-situ and satellite measurements of crop and soil parameters to adapt crop growth models for a given territory for yield forecasting.
