Admin Application

Centralized interface for administrators to check system status, configure scopes, manage code lists, credentials, and signal subscriptions.

Applications

Overview of the applications that make up the Area Monitoring System, including viewer, expert review, geotagged photo, and admin tools.

Area Monitoring

Monitor agricultural activities on a large scale with multi-spectral, multi-temporal Earth Observation data, signals, and markers derived over agricultural parcels.

Area Monitoring Application

Web application for browsing markers, Traffic Light System decisions, timelapses, and Sentinel-2 visualisations for any selected field of interest.

Bare-Soil Marker

Assigns each Sentinel-2 observation a probability that a field of interest has exposed bare soil due to ploughing, harvest, or vegetation dry-up.

Binary Land-Cover Marker

Combines built-up, bare-soil, forest, and water pixel classifiers into an on-demand scene classification map applied to Sentinel-2 observations.

Common

Details of commonly used properties and objects

Crop and Land-Use Markers

Uses an LSTM-based classifier to check whether a parcel's satellite time series matches its declared crop group or land-use group.

Expert Judgement Application

Organises expert review of markers and Traffic Light decisions to verify agricultural parcel compliance with Common Agricultural Policy regulations.

Field Delineation

Uses deep learning on Sentinel-2 imagery to automatically delineate agricultural parcel boundaries, helping paying agencies and farmers monitor changes in land use.

Geotagged Photo Application

Android app enabling farmers to capture and share geotagged field photos with paying agencies as complementary evidence for area monitoring checks.

Greening and Harvest Marker

Identifies greening and harvest phases in a field's NDVI time series to reveal crop life cycles, catch crops, and green cover practices.

Homogeneity Marker

Identifies fields hosting multiple crops or heterogeneous land cover by aggregating pixel-level statistical measures over a full growing season.

Markers

Introduces markers as interpretable indicators derived from multi-temporal Sentinel signals over features of interest, generalisable across large regions.

Mowing Marker

Detects mowing events on fields by locating characteristic drops and recoveries in NDVI time series at either FOI or pixel level.

Observation

Documentation for Observation React component

Pixel Mowing

Documentation for visualization of pixel mowing marker results

Ploughing Marker

Detects periods when a field has been ploughed by tracking sharp rises in bare-soil probability and corresponding drops in NDVI values.

References

Overview of Area Monitoring projects and deployments with paying agencies and research partners across Slovenia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Estonia, Ukraine, and Italy.

Signal Processing

Explains how satellite reflectances over fields of interest are extracted, converted to vegetation indices, and filtered through cloud detection and outlier removal.

Timelapse

Documentation for Timelapse React component

Traffic Light System

Describes how the Traffic Light System assigns green, yellow, or red compliance codes to each field of interest by combining marker evidence.

Videos

Collection of webinar recordings covering the CAP Area Monitoring System in Slovenia and the Automated Agricultural Field Delineation Tool.

Visualizations

Documentation for visualization of area monitoring results
