ARSET - Crop Mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical Remote Sensing

Start Date:
April 4, 2023
End Date:
April 11, 2023
Description:
This advanced training builds on previous ARSET agricultural trainings. We will present advanced radar remote sensing techniques using polarimetry and a canopy structure dynamic model to monitor crop growth. The training will cover how to apply machine learning methods to classify crop type using a time series of Sentinel-1 & Sentinel-2 imagery. This series will include practical exercises using the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) and Python code written in Python Jupyter Notebooks.
Targeted Audience:
This webinar series is intended for local, regional, federal, and non-governmental organizations from agriculture and food security related agencies to use radar and optical remote sensing applications in the domain of agriculture for crop mapping and monitoring.
Expected Outcomes:
By the end of this training attendees will be able to: - Monitor crop growth with polarimetric time series SAR data from Sentinel-1 - Examine crop growth using a canopy structure dynamic model and time series of Sentinel-1 imagery - Classify crop type using a time series of radar and optical imagery (Sentinel-1 & Sentinel-2)
