Agricultural Parcel Detection with Definiens eCognition
Monitoring agriculture is one of the major applications in remote sensing today. In particular, verifying eligibility for area-based subsidies in the EU makes a quick and precise check of farmers‘ applications necessary. Using very high resolution aerial and satellite imagery, parcels declared in the applications must be recognised by their geometry (size) and land use, whereby confirmation of field size is normally done by an interpreter manually digitizing on the screen. In this case study, Definiens eCognition with its vector handling capabilities was used to detect and classify parcels to analyse whether Definiens eCognition‘s object oriented approach is suitable for detecting parcels by their geometry and land use.
