2 / 28 Outline Test on the use of hard classification of High Resolution (HR) / Mid Resolution (MR) RS data in Area Frame Sampling Test on soft classification of Low Resolution (LR) RS data

3 / 28 How to estimate crop area? -Traditionally, through list survey of a sample of farmers or area frame survey based on a sample of fields, clustered fields (segments) or points - : statistical method, estimated accuracy (function of sampling size, crop distribution & importance in the region) - : Possible bias (farm list), heavy field work difficult for monitoring foreign countries -EO imagery (through full coverage of the region of interest) may support stratification: sampling rate adjusted to stratum -> improved accuracy for a given sampling size – VHR / HR imagery help building the area frame (national stats) – mostly VHR imagery provide crop areas estimates through image classification + correction for classification bias (calibration estimator based on field data) – mostly HR imagery; possibly LR data (through subpixel classification) help Improving field survey estimates through classification of the whole region of interest and regression estimator – mostly HR imagery
