Automated up-to-date cloud-free Sentinel-2 satellite image mosaic service for organizational GIS

Name: Automated up-to-date cloud-free Sentinel-2 satellite image mosaic service for organizational GIS

Source of funding: European Space Agency. Contract No. 4000138666/22/NL/SC/rp

Total funding: EUR 111,600/ EUR 22,350 ZSA budget

Implementation time: 05.09.2022-5.06.2023

Coordinator: Baltic Satellite Service SIA.

Partners: Rural Support Service, ZSA

Purpose: The overall goal of the project is to integrate the Sentinel-2 satellite image service into the Digital Innovation Portal (DIH) of the Farmers' Parliament and adapt it to the needs of farmers.

Planned results to be achieved:

1. Improve the cloud detection accuracy, image mosaicking process and web service performance of the existing Sentinel-2 satellite image mosaic service.

2. Improve the speed of the existing service.

3. Develop ZSA DIH (https://app.smartagro.lv) additional functionality defined in the portal, providing the ability to compare image history and dates using a slider tool, display user-defined satellite image index layers, and other features identified during this project.

4. Integrate the improved service and developed specific functionality into the ZSA DIH system and test the basic and specific service functionality together with the ZSA DIH system. The goal of this project can be considered achieved if an automatically updated and up-to-date cloud-free Sentinel-2 satellite image mosaic service with the functionality defined within the project, which is integrated into the ZSA DIH system, is available in the ZSA DIH system.
