Abstract
The modernization of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) requires the large scale and frequent monitoring of agricultural land. Towards this direction, the free and open satellite data (i.e., Sentinel missions) have been extensively used as the sources for the required high spatial and temporal resolution Earth observations. Nevertheless, monitoring the CAP at large scales constitutes a big data problem and puts a strain on CAP paying agencies that need to adapt fast in terms of infrastructure and know-how. Hence, there is a need for efficient and easy-to-use tools for the acquisition, storage, processing and exploitation of big satellite data. In this work, we present the Agriculture monitoring Data Cube (ADC), which is an automated, modular, end-to-end framework for discovering, pre-processing and indexing optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images into a multidimensional…
