Challenge Description |
||||||||
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
Mapping land cover and land class classification is needed, but methods can be highly variable between different contractors. Obtaining up to date and standardized land cover information is a challenge. |
||||||||
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
Baseline land cover and land use information is required to understand project environment and to support environmental risk assessment. |
||||||||
Thematic information requirements: |
Land cover Land use |
|||||||
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
Combination of available satellite imagery in combination with aerial imagery. |
||||||||
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
Baseline information based on optical image acquisition and an ability to integrate radar data to mitigate cloud cover issues in optical data. |
||||||||
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
Issues regarding consistency and accuracy of land cover classification and change detection, cost of data, and cloud cover constraints in certain parts of the world. |
