'Innovate UK': Advancing Earth Observation Applications in Agriculture:developing wall-to-wall data products to improve environmental compliance

Ecometrica、Environment Systems和Rothamsted Research的一项为期2年、价值75万英镑（来自Innovate UK的41.5万英镑）的合作研发投资旨在开发哨兵地球观测（EO）衍生信息产品的全面应用，以实现农业的环境合规性和生产力监测。正在开发处理方法、校准/验证流程和示范应用方面的创新，这些创新可以扩大规模，在大面积上持续运行，提供可操作的内容，供国家机构和企业使用。该项目将利用在Agrimetrics建立的新的地球观测数据管理设施（EO实验室），并将成为大型空间数据管理系统如何支持英国和出口市场农业信息服务增长的早期示范项目。

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.
