2015 – Rice Crop Mapping
Rice maps provide information on the extent of the area covered by rice crop cultivations during the on-going season (“early rice area map”, mid-July) and at the end of the season (“end of season rice area map”, mid-October).
Rice maps for the 2015 crop season were produced by SARMAP by Sarmap in collaboration with IREA-CNR, exploiting an integration between multitemporal Sentinel 2 SAR data and LANDSAT 8 OLI oprical data.
The figures below show some examples of the rice area maps derived over the three regional study areas of the project.
