Landscape Features
On Wednesday 6 April CAPIGI 2011 continued with a session on Landscape Features. Anticipating on the LPIS workshop that was scheduled after CAPIGI 2011 some of the talks discussed digitization of borders in the landscape.
The session began with a thorough speech from Aymeric Berling from DG-AGRI on the GAEC Standards Relevant for Eligibility of Land to Direct Payments.
Problems of shadows on photos have made some companies like Trimble with their eCognition search for solutions using for example Vegetation Indexes to indicate objects better, leading to better borders, explained by Malte Sohlbach from Trimble & Matthias Trap from Agroscience. Their presentation called Automatic Detection of Landscape Elements will be embedded here:

Rob Beck from the Dutch company NEO on Earth Observation after this updated the audience on change detection being part of their daily job. He shared his Geo-Information Management Cycle: validation known mutations lead to signalising of unknown mutations, leading to mapping (actualisation), leading to controlling processed mutations and than back to the first one. The updating numbers speak for themselves - In Holland 9% of all buildings, 8% of all ditches and not less than 15% of all roads and trees need to be updated every single year! Similar situations occur in big urban areas such as London and Paris. Geo-information outdates quickly in all European countries.
