Description
The quantity of remote sensing data, from space, air and ground-based sensors, continues to increase at a rapid pace. Both the commercial and public sectors are using this data to offer services that range from information streams that still requires remote sensing knowledge for further interpretation and analysis to tailored services that deliver actionable information through an app or support system. This unprecedented amount and diversity of sources is changing the question from “where can I get information” to “how do I choose which information to use”.The presentation will focus on some recent developments such as:
- The European Union's Earth Observation Programme (Copernicus) which includes the European Space Agency (ESA) constellation of SENTINEL platforms for monitoring the environment with a range of sensor capabilities.
- The Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS) which aims to deploy operational access platforms to boost user uptake and to stimulate innovation and the creation of new business models based on Earth Observation data and information.
The role of these programmes (and others) will be highlighted in some example applications related to plant health before concluding with some observations on what is needed to make remote sensing a sustainable and reliable source of information for plant health applications.
