Description

In the context of the EU-funded project DIONE (No. 870378), the following EO-based monitoring marker maps were released over the two pilot regions, containing the results produced from a set of image analysis and machine learning techniques. The latest explores the benefits of Copernicus's multispectral high-resolution Sentinel-2 data acquired from 01-08-2021 until 03-09-2022 and provides tailored information on the needs of European paying agencies (e.g. CAPO and NPA), expressed with the following markers.

  1. Mowing marker: used to detect mowing events on meadow/grass like Features Of Interest (FOI)

  2. Mean-NDVI marker: used to detect erroneous claims with no vegetation

  3. Homogeneity marker: used to determine if a parcel geometry consists of a single crop or if multiple things are growing on the parcel

  4. Bare soil marker: used to detect observation where bare soil is present on the feature of interest. This indicates agricultural activity on the FOI (plowing, harvest)

  5. Similarity and distance markers: used to give additional context to the crop classification and to detect erroneous claims

  6. Land marker: used to detect the land type and non-productive EFAs of the FOI

  7. Crop-type marker: used to detect the specific crop growing on the FOI

This dataset is comprised of the geopackage file "markers_summary.gpkg", which was computed for the Cypriotic pilot region. Descriptions are given below.

OBS_VALID Number of all valid observations
CROP_CODE Crop identifier
N_PIXEL Number of S2 pixels within FOI
PLOTIDCROP PLOT_ID_CROP
BS_APR_END Number of bare-soil observations between 2022-03-01 and 2022-04-30 
BS_FEB_JUN Number of bare-soil observations between 2022-02-01 and 2022-06-30
BS_JAN_APR Number of bare-soil observations between 2022-01-01 and 2022-04-30
BS_JAN_MAR Number of bare-soil observations between 2022-01-01 and 2022-03-31
BS_OCT_DEC Number of bare-soil observations between 2021-10-01 and 2021-12-31
BS_OCT_SEP Number of bare-soil observations between 2021-10-01 and 2022-09-30
P_CROP The FOI label as predicted by the crop group model
CR_P_SCORE The pseudoprobability of the crop-group prediction. A score close to 1 indicates that the model is very confident in the prediction
D_GROUP Declared crop group
DIST_CROP Most similar crop according to the distance marker
DIST_SC00 Distance marker score of a most similar crop
DIST_SCORE Distance marker score of a FOI when compared to nearby FOIs with the same claim. A value close to 100 indicates that a FOI is not similar to other FOIs with the same claim.
HOM_CLASS Homogeneous/Heterogeneous
HOM_SCORE Homogeneity probability assigned by the homogeneity marker
P_LAND_GR The FOI label as predicted by the land group model using crop groupings based on land use
LGRP_SCORE The pseudoprobability of the crop-group prediction. A score close to 1 indicates that the model is very confident in the prediction.
D_LAND Declared land group
M_NDVI_A_J Mean NDVI value in interval 2022-04-01 till 2022-07-31
M_NDVI_F_M Mean NDVI value in interval 2022-02-01 till 2022-03-31
M_NDVI_J_A Mean NDVI value in interval 2022-01-01 till 2022-04-30 
MW_FEB_JUN Number of mowing events between 2022-02-01 and 2022-06-30
MW_OCT_SEP Number of mowing events between 2021-10-01 and 2022-09-30
MW_ALL Number of mowing events in the observation period
SIM_CROP Most similar crop according to similarity marker
SIM_SC00 Similarity marker score of a most similar crop
SIM_SCORE Similarity marker score of a FOI when compared to nearby FOIs with the same claim. A value close to 100 indicates that a FOI is not similar to other FOIs with the same claim.
