Novel Early Season Crop Type Classifier by Improved Utilization of Multi-frequency PolSAR and Electro-optical Data A.U.G. Signals Ltd. will utilize multi EO satellite data, including RADARSAT, to perform innovative research and development towards developing a practical early season crop type classification product. Specifically, an early season classification procedure for key summer crops in western Canada such as canola, wheat, soybean and corn will be obtained. This development could also be extended to other crop types and regions. A successful product in this area is essential for the development of Canada-wide crop disease risk monitoring tool and will also help in the early prediction of expected crop production.
