Title:
Quantification of carbon sequestration in Canadian agricultural lands using satellite hyperspectral imagery
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 17, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
The project aims to build a method to systemically and methodically quantify the Carbon dioxide (CO2) level present at ground-elevation using hyperspectral data. Hyperspectral data captures the entire spectrum per pixel, providing a vast amount of information. By combining CO2 data captured at ground-elevation as the ground-truth labels, a Machine Learning model will be developed that is able to take satellite hyperspectral data as its input, and predict its underlying CO2 level. This project aims to provide the information required for the governments and private entities such as farmers to track their carbon footprint, and capture the associated economic benefits.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research
and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
