Earth observations for sustainable sugarcane
Lead Research Organisation:
CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY
Department Name: School of Water, Energy and Environment
Abstract
This project will answer the question 'How do we monitor sugarcane from long-term satellite programmes and new satellite constellations in near-real time?'. We will define how the emergence of cloud-based technologies, and enabling techniques, for analysing large quantities of EO data can be used for measurement over wide geographical areas at high resolution. The delivery of a robust tool for the monitoring of sugarcane will lead to greater understanding of the changing spatial and temporal patterns in cultivation and yield.

| Description | A technical approach for extracting sugarcane phenology from timeseries satellite imagery has been developed and validated against a large set of sugarcane fields in India. This work is in the process of being written up to be published in a Peer Review Journal. This work is still on-going. |
| Exploitation Route | This work is still on-going. |
