Doubths and Limitations for use of Sentinel-2 in Croatia - EKCurrent use new technologies in the context of supporting implementation of the current CAP in Croatia especially in the OTSC and LPIS process

bull Geo-tagged photos

bull GNSS-receivers combined with GPS GLONASS GALILEO and EGNOS

bull Open data - Google Instantstreetview

bull Unmanned Aircraft Systems - Drones

bull The European Earth observation programme - Copernicus through a series of Sentinel sensors

Geo-tagged photosbull Croatia operational use since 2011

bull Photos taken by the controllers

during RF visits or classic OTSC

bull Hundreds of thousands of photos

showing the real situation from the field

at the time the photo was taken

bull The photo speaks more than a

thousand words

bull A very useful tool for continuously

collected information over the years

bull Captured photos are useful as

- an excellent overview of the facts

in the field

- an audit trail as confirmation of findings

- a useful tool for checking the quality of the inspectors work

- great evidence in case of appeals or court proceedings with the farmer

Geo-tagged photosbull Each arrow represents one georeferenced photo stored in LPIS

Geo-tagged photosThree options for photo geo-positioningbull GNSS tool with integrated camerabull Simultaneously capturing the position

with the GNSS tool and photos with the camera

bull Using a camera that has an integrated GPS receiver

bull Photos take up a lot of space on the server (Optimize photo size without dropping the quality)

bull Sometimes there are problems with photo positions and azimuth

bull The next step is to load photos made by farmers or other interested parties

Geo-tagged photos

bull The replacement of field visit by geotagged photos coming directly from the farmers

bull Smart mobile phones and tablets have on chipsets with GPS-receivers that determine their location with accurate position between 4 and 15 meters

bull There will be problems to be solved with photo positions and azimuth of photos

bull It will be necessary to check by Agency the quality and representativeness of the photos

bull In some cases however you will need to make RFV but in a lot less cases than now

bull This will reduce the agencys costs requirements for a larger number of people involved and increase data quality and increase the accuracy of payment approvals

bull It is necessary to adopt a legislative basis for the application of this solution and to develope software and methodological solutions

GNSS-receivers combined with GPS GLONASS GALILEO and EGNOSCroatia Topcon GMS2 device

bull Operational use since 2011

bull For both GPS+Glonass satellite systems

bull Provides access to the EGNOS correction services

as a standard feature

bull Using its internal Bluetooth connection to GSM

device GMS-2 can be configured to connect to a

regional GPS reference station network (CROPOS)

bull Profit better and more accurate positioning and

measurement in worse conditions

bull Full agriculture area is checked automatically or semi-automatically ndash country wide

bull OTSCCWRS process focused to identified issues to assure audit-proof evidence

bull Long-term effects as farm holders know they are being watched

bull Current IACS methodology does not put incentive to such processes

Doubths and Limitations for use of Sentinel-2 in Croatia - EK

bull The possibility of continuously monitoring the agricultural activity

bull Legislation should be adapted to promote ongoing monitoring

bull The possible increase of error rate due to new technologies allowing to detect more errors

bull The high number of small reference parcels in MS does not allow monitoring of 100 of the areas bythe Sentinel data

Doubths and Limitations for use of Sentinel-2 in Croatia - EKbull There is still a lack of expertise knowledge and validation of

methods using sentinel data and new technologies

bull New algorithms need to be developed implemented and fully tested

bull Sentinel image storage is a real challenge

bull Croatia proposes the active involvement of the EC to support the use of Sentinelsrsquo data in IACS improving data availability providing data storage validation of methods software development evaluation of the technical guidance

bull Best approaches must be proven by the EC before operational use

Doubths and Limitations for use of Sentinel-2 in Croatiabull Common pilot project (EU level) are needed for proving the

methodology validation and real implementation in the IACS workflow

bull Croatia is willing to cooperate but also expressed the need of ECESAJRC support

bull Common data availability is essential (common Sentinel hub)

bull Shorter revisit time will be useful because of the presence of clouds

bull Technical supportguidance by JRC would be appreciated

bull More examples and more practice are necessary to implement solutions in real working environment

bull Croatia proposes that the EC amend the Working Document on the increase of rate on-the-spot checks in such a way that the use of those new technologies will not lead to more controls

bull The high number of small reference parcels in MS does not allow monitoring of 100 of the areas bythe Sentinel data

Doubths and Limitations for use of Sentinel-2 in Croatia - EKbull There is still a lack of expertise knowledge and validation of

methods using sentinel data and new technologies

bull New algorithms need to be developed implemented and fully tested

bull Sentinel image storage is a real challenge

bull Croatia proposes the active involvement of the EC to support the use of Sentinelsrsquo data in IACS improving data availability providing data storage validation of methods software development evaluation of the technical guidance

bull Best approaches must be proven by the EC before operational use

Doubths and Limitations for use of Sentinel-2 in Croatiabull Common pilot project (EU level) are needed for proving the

methodology validation and real implementation in the IACS workflow

bull Croatia is willing to cooperate but also expressed the need of ECESAJRC support

bull Common data availability is essential (common Sentinel hub)

bull Shorter revisit time will be useful because of the presence of clouds

bull Technical supportguidance by JRC would be appreciated

bull More examples and more practice are necessary to implement solutions in real working environment

bull Croatia proposes that the EC amend the Working Document on the increase of rate on-the-spot checks in such a way that the use of those new technologies will not lead to more controls

Doubths and Limitations for use of Sentinel-2 in Croatia

Determined possibilities of using sentinel data

ndashexistence and duration of catch crops

ndashcuting on grassland

ndashploughing on parcels

ndashif the winter soil cover is kept

ndashthe existence of weeds on parcels

ndashnon compliance with minimum farmers activity

Conclusion on use of Sentinel-2 in Croatia

bull Pilot use in 2016 proved to add value operational use planned for 2017

bull At the moment treated as a supportive layer not yet part of official procedure

bull Manual use no automatics

bull Free data low cost of operation and benefits of additional data source make it a ldquomust-haverdquo

How about the future

Supportive data during submission process

bull Farmers and operators can get access to most recent imagery which might be useful in cases of 3 years old aerial imagery

bull Layers should not be overlaid with LPIS data to prevent point-by-point digitizationdelineation (too low resolution) ndash if presented in a pop-up they help with interpretation but do not get in the way
