Task 1.1 |
Financial and Administrative Management |
Management and monitoring the use of project resources (human resources, financial, equipment, sub-contracting), and setting, carrying out and monitoring the financial and administrative procedures. Reporting to ESA |
|
|
Task 1.2 |

|
Task 2.1 |
User needs |
Consultations with user organisations, identification of their needs, motivation and defining full set of requirements |
|
|
Task 2.2 |
State of art and benchmarking |
Consultations with experts, identification of state of art, benchmarking and defining full set of innovative solutions. |
|
|
Identification and Mapping of Abandoned Agriculture Land Classes |
WP 3 |
||
|
Task 3.1 |
Defining of AAL classes and their dominating interpretation features |
Definition of 3 AAL classes, their dominant interpretation features – shape, size, colour, texture and pattern by which these classes can be identified on satellite scenes. Selection of study areas and localities. |
|
|
Task 3.2 |
Computer aided visual interpretation combined with OBIA approach within study areas |
Identification and mapping of AAL classes in selected study areas. Field research. |
|
|
Assessment of Above Ground Biomass on Abandoned Agricultural Land |
WP 4 |
||
|
Task 4.1 |
Referential database |
Creation of reference database (RDB) containing terrestrial and LiDAR data for two study areas. Field research. Estimation of tree and scrub species volume based on RDB. |
|
|
Task 4.2 |
Models of AGB determination from satellite images |
Statistical analysis of backscatter values (or DN) and above-ground biomass (AGB). Different sensors, bands and derived product combinations will be evaluated. |
|
|
Task 4.3 |
Calibration and validation of AGB derivation models |
Derivation of regression and inversion models for stocking estimation, calibration and validation.Proposal of system for permanent tree species biomass inventory on AAL (PILNP). |
