Abstract

This project develops the use of Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) for national land cover mapping applications.

CEH will undertake the following activities:

  • Assess compositing requirements and prototype protocols for composite preparation, including metadata retention.
  • Assess ability of DMC to produce useful segmentation of the uplands.
  • Assess compatibility of DMC with OSMM.
  • Assess the temporal requirements to map Broad Habitats with DMC data (e.g. number of images and at what time of year).
  • Assess the parcel-based data handling requirements for optimal use of DMC.
