THIS EVENT BEGINS: FRIDAY, JUNE 5th 12 PM CEST
What: In this webinar results from a recent survey of the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) Area Monitoring System (AMS) implementations in Paying Agencies (PA) are presented. AMS requires joins of satellite observation data (e.g. from Copernicus) with GIS data originating from territorial Land Parcel Identification Systems (LPIS). Paying Agencies and their contractors are invited to discuss policies and incentives for sharing LPIS/GSAA data. Technical procedures and platforms for LPIS data sharing are reviewed, specifically addressing the use of hosted data cubes. Combined processing of LPIS/GSAA and satellite data will be presented as it is offered by the Euro Data Cube service to the benefits of higher-level applications (e.g. Machine Learning crop classification)
Why now: CAP Area Monitoring System imposes great challenges to authorities and industry in EU Member States. Trends can be observed towards de-facto standard solutions to the benefit of all. In their approach for launching the CAP Area Monitoring System as requested by the EU by 2023 at the latest, the Paying Agencies are investigating implementation solutions for Copernicus and commercial satellite data access and processing. Cloud-based multi-data cubes are options being looked at with interest by Paying Agencies as a means to outsource some of the satellite data handling challenges to service contracts.
Who (is the webinar for): The CAP Paying Agencies, their contractors and a general audience interested in implementing the CAP Area Monitoring System
